Lisa Matrundola was born the youngest of five children in Montreal, Quebec. Her parents immigrated from Italy and England in the late 1950’s and later moved to Atlanta when she was in middle school.

 

After earning a BFA from the University of Georgia, Lisa worked as a designer and illustrator before exploring various creative ventures - from running a custom cake bakery to managing property renovations. But her true passion for art was reignited in 2016 when she received a Merit Award at ArtFields, inspiring her to dive deeper into themes of female identity through painting and sculpture.

​

Lisa went on to earn her MFA in Painting from the Savannah College of Art & Design in 2021 and is now an adjunct professor. Lisa is also apprentice to world renown sculptor, Basil Watson, where she is learning the process of casting bronze sculptures. Her work has been exhibited at The Quinlan Visual Arts Center, ArtFields, The Bo Bartlett Center, The RAM Gallery, SCAD Atlanta, and Spruill Center for the Arts.
