Lisa Matrundola was born the youngest of five children in Montreal, Quebec. Her parents immigrated to Canada from Italy and England in the mid 1950’s. Self-sufficiency, hard work and attention to detail were modeled as cornerstones of success. As an adolescent, these attributes were further articulated through dance and the study of representational drawing and painting.

​

After earning a BFA from the University of Georgia, Lisa worked in Atlanta as a graphic designer, illustrator and art director. In the midst of raising her children, she established a custom cake bakery, renovated and managed several rental properties and taught group fitness classes, but something was missing.

​

Lisa entered the 2016 Artfield’s exhibition, where she received one of ten Merit Awards. This recognition ignited a passion to explore themes of female identity through painting and sculpture. Lisa completed her MFA in Painting at The Savannah College of Art & Design in 2021. She hopes her work will encourage conversation regarding our collective survival and coexistence on planet earth.
