Lisa Greenleaf grew up in the small coastal town of Manchester-by-the-Sea, MA and on the shores of Province Lake, NH. At a very young age she found her passion in drawing and painting. In 1984 Lisa received her BA in Art from Keene State College, and began working for an educational publishing company, Curriculum Associates, Inc., as a designer and illustrator. Throughout the years Lisa continued illustrating, drawing and painting, whether she was commissioned by a client or inspired by a subject matter or surroundings. Lisa’s fine art blossoms from many different heart felt inspirations. Her realistic pieces are inspired by historical settings, landscapes, mountains, seacoast and the love of animals and people. She creates visually stunning drawings and paintings by using a variety of different mediums, including graphite pencil, watercolor, colored pencil and acrylics.
