Lisa Matrundola was born the youngest of five children in Montreal, Quebec. Her parents immigrated from Italy and England in the 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 owning a custom cake business to property management. In 2016 her true passion for art was reignited 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 where she is now an adjunct professor. She recently completed an 18 month apprenticeship with world renowned sculptor, Basil Watson. Her work has been exhibited at Artfields, Kai Lin Art, The Quinlan Visual Arts Center, The Bo Bartlett Center, and RAM Gallery in New Jersey.
