Lisa Mullikin was born in Washington, DC and received her Masters of Architecture from the University of Maryland. She worked in Washington, London, New York, San Francisco, Louisiana and Tennessee as an architect and teacher. Her focus has been on historical restoration and sustainable design. Lisa began her painting career by taking classes at the San Francisco Art Institute while she was working as an architect in historic restoration. She later studied art at the universities where she was teaching architecture and was introduced to plein air in Louisiana and printmaking in East Tennessee. She now works as a full time artist in Wilmington, North Carolina at Acme Studios as an oil painter. She is most interested in how memory and anticipation influence present perception, and this is explored through landscape, abstract and figurative work.
