Coastal Branch Library Artist for March: Lisa Mitchell
admin
January 30, 2013
Friends of the Coastal Branch Library are pleased to present Lisa Mitchell, a resident of Seagrove Beach. Lisa grew up in an Air Force family.
“My mother, educated in interior design, painted in oil and taught me to sew,” said Mitchell. “My father graduated from Georgia Tech in architecture but decided to become a pilot and fly planes. They both encouraged me to be imaginative and artful. I have always been creative and artistic, in one form or another either painting or sewing all my life.”
Lisa received her degree in San Diego in Art History.
“I was most enamored and influenced by both the German Expressionists and French Fauve artists,” she said. “I paint in oils and acrylics, but many times incorporate oil pastel, pencil, pen and sometimes textural elements as well.”
