BIO
Lisa Ingram is an abstract oil painter who lives and works in Manhattan.
She received her BFA from Parsons School of Design in New York. Earlier,
she also trained at Instituto Lorenzo De' Medici in Florence, Italy.
Originally from Virginia, her paintings have an organic quality of nature and
water. As a youth, Ingram was a competitive springboard diver, and the
elements of water resonate throughout most series of her works. This
athletic discipline in her youth has helped her to maintain self-discipline
and drive throughout her artistic practice.
In the 1990s, Ingram got a painting studio at SoHo Studio Center and
became a part of the SoHo art community in downtown Manhattan. She
exhibited extensively in NYC group shows and solo exhibitions, including 55
Mercer Gallery, Fusion Arts Museum, Markel/Sears Works on Paper, 450
Broadway Gallery, Blondies Contemporary Art Gallery, Gallery 313, and The
Lee Kohns Cultural Arts Center.
In the 2000s, Ingram was awarded a studio in Harlem by the Chashama
Organization. Her exhibitions increased throughout the USA and overseas,
including Margaret Lipworth Fine Art, Boca Raton, FL; Cedar Rapids
Museum of Art, IA; Center for the Performing Arts, Rutherford, NJ; Center
Street Gallery in Manassas, VA; Wetherholt Galleries in Washington DC;
Nova Zembla Gallery in Hertogenbosch, Holland; and SoHo Myriad Galleries
in Atlanta, Chicago, and Los Angeles.
On completion of the Chashama studio award, Ingram's studio moved to
Brooklyn, where she painted, exhibited, and collaborated on projects with
Hot Wood Arts Studios and Exhibition Center.
She eventually moved her studio back to the Upper West Side of
Manhattan, where she lives and works today.
