Lisa Adams

2D Instructor | Painting | Drawing

Lisa Adams has been making art since she could hold a pencil. A Manhattan-based illustrator for  26 years, Lisa relocated to Mystic, CT where she resumed her career as a fine artist represented  by the Diane Birdsall Gallery in Old Lyme, CT and Marfa, TX. In addition to multiple solo and  group shows at Birdsall’s gallery, Lisa also has exhibited in New Yorks’ Chelsea Onishi Project  gallery, Avondale Arts, Watch Hill, RI and continues to exhibit in group shows in New York and  along the Southeast coast of New England.

Represented in New York for her magazine and  book cover illustrations she juggles her fine art commissions for drawings and paintings as well  as art instruction at the Mystic Museum of Art. There, she teaches the Nuts & Bolts of Drawing,  Watercolor Essentials for adults and Drawing & Painting Fundamentals for kids. Adams’ unique  style of imagery- combining super-realism, collage, naive drawing and artist’ handwriting  overlap in both disciplines yet it is her love of pencil drawing that dominate her sensibilities.  Adams’ dedication to working in a photo-realistic style combined with an intense interest in  graphite has enabled her to explore the basic fundamentals of realism drawing with graphite.
