Lisa grew up on a small farm in south central Pennsylvania and spent much of her time outside in Nature. From an early age, she had a passion for drawing and painting her surroundings. Formal art classes gave her a solid foundation for her skills, which she continued to improve upon throughout her life, taking classes from various art centers.

After a lengthy career in the insurance industry, Lisa retired from the corporate world and resumed painting while raising a family. Lisa has a background in acrylic painting, ceramics, face painting and now frequently uses rocks and stones as her canvas. Nature and myth serve as a huge inspiration to Lisa, which she incorporates into much of her work. You can find examples of her artwork on Facebook at Peace of Art, LLC Lisa Middendorf | Facebook

Lisa has been an instructor in the paint and sip industry since 2014 and has recently relocated to The North Woods of New Hampshire.
