About the Artist
As an artist and educator, I always strive to keep learning… and keep my story moving, even when it feels like I might be taking steps backward, I try to seek out what's a few steps in front of me, inspiring the desire to try, try, try and reach it... My hand on the door, always wondering how many more I will open if I just keep trying……
Lisa Pimental is a life-long artist as well as a visual arts educator who works mainly in digital photography and paint. Holding a Bachelor degree in Visual Arts, as well as a Master of Arts in Education, Lisa has stepped away from the classroom for invaluable quality time off with her family while also reviving her love for creating meaningful works of art.
Having works previously shown in several San Francisco Bay Area galleries, a principal theme in Lisa’s art centers around finding the beauty and intrigue in the world around us. Seeking out the unnoticed, the ugly, the unwanted, Lisa’s process allows her to focus on the details of the visual truth, inviting an unsolicited reflection from her audience.
Lisa is now actively involved in organizations that have allowed her to generate new work, take commissions from lovers of art all around the country, while also inspiring local young minds (including her 6 year old son!) to appreciate and explore individual creativity.
