Lisa Cirenza

Fusing traditional and electronic painting techniques, Artist Lisa Cirenza creates instantaneous visual impressions on-site. Her current project is a mural at Stanford University Children’s Hospital.

An American with her primary studio in London, England, Ms Cirenza originally hails from New Jersey, but has lived and worked in over 5 countries. Art studies include studying Sumi-E under a Master in Tokyo, traditional mediums and techniques in the Jean-Pierre Brazs Parisian atelier, and the Norfolk Painting School; and intensive drawing at the Royal Drawing School in London.

Her B.A. degree from Stanford in Applied Earth Sciences and experiences as a glaciologist on the Juneau Icefield Research program familiarized her with traditional pigments, mediums, and materials.
