Teaching Artists
Lisa Schorr
Lisa Schorr was born and raised in Lancaster.Growing up in a rural setting fueled her love of nature and being an only child gave way to a deep connection to and love of animals. Using her art, she enjoys expressing her intuitive understanding of animals and nature and the ways we relate and interact. Lisa has always had a need and a great desire to create. Like most artists, she likes trying new media including metal, clay, and textiles, but she usually returns to the paint and brush, the true north of her art spirit. Lisa has forged a continuing education in art on her own, reading, researching, and creating art each and every day. She is currently learning French and planning a trip to France to paint and absorb as much French culture as she can. You just might find some influence of her new obsession in her newest art. Each day is an opportunity to continue on her art journey and it's always interesting.
