Artist Spotlight: Lisa Pressman

Lisa Pressman, Stacks, 15” x 12”, Pigment Stick® on paper, 2019

Lisa Pressman works and teaches in a variety of mediums, among them oil, encaustic, cold wax, and mixed-media collage. Her work is abstract, conceptually based, and process-driven. It features marks, forms, colors, and patterns that are evocative rather than descriptive.

A New Jersey native, Lisa received her Bachelor of Arts degree in fine art from Douglass College at Rutgers University in 1979 and her Master of Fine Arts degree in Painting from Bard College in 1981. Her work is represented by Susan Eley Fine Arts in New York, Addington Gallery in Chicago, and Slate in Telluride, Colorado.  

In addition to teaching at R&F, Lisa has served as faculty at the former Art Institute of NY, as well as a visiting professor at Pratt Institute and taught workshops in France, Mexico, and Italy.
