Lisa Puryear

Lisa began painting and creating art at the age of six .  Her parents noticed she saw things differently than they did and immediately put her in art classes.  She studied painting first under Mildred White at the Sumter Gallery of Art.  In High School she worked for famous SC artist Ray Davenport.  She was among a select group of young artists to attend the SC Governor’s School for the Arts at Furman University in the Summer of 1985.  Lisa continued her studies in art at the University of SC under Caro-Lin Getty, Phillip Mullen and Ann Hubbard, to name a few.
Lisa’s career is in the Health Insurance industry but art has continued to be a prominent part of her life.  Her work is inspired by many things in nature and her surroundings.   Not interested in realism, she takes the object or photo and transforms it into something  special.  Lisa brings her paintings to life using a variety of techniques and interesting colors.  The artist hopes that looking at her paintings can evoke  a sense of peace and tranquility. 

Lisa will be showing at Webb Rawls Gallery at 5210 N Trenholm starting March 4th.  Her work can also be viewed at AMSA Yoga Studios at 140 Pelham Drive next to Woodhill Mall, at Colonial Life and also at Stonefire American Grill.
