I was born and raised in Washington, DC. From drawing the green ranger for my kindergarten self-portrait to getting in trouble for coloring characters on the back of my homework. I’ve always had a passion for illustrating characters and storytelling. As a child my uncle would joke and say “you’re going to grow up to be a cartoon”, and honestly I couldn’t agree more. I attended the visual and performing arts program at Suitland Highschool, majoring in Fine Arts. Shortly after graduating, I dove right into my college career at the Art Institute of Washington.

Hello everyone. I'm a freelance artist and I work with acrylic and oil paint on stretched and textured canvas. My art mainly consists of bright and vibrant displays of black women and the cultural concepts that are involved in our everyday lives such as hair and style.
Based out of PG County, Maryland, my artwork has reached people in the Baltimore/Washington D.C metro area, Detroit, MI, New York City, and other locations.
Lisa Brown was born and raised between Washington, DC, and Compton, California. She had a film camera in her hand at the age of 7.

Photography and darkroom were the first classes she took at the Washington DC Children's museum. She attended secondary education at Prince George’s College, where she acquired a degree in arts.

I was born and raised in the Chicago area, and fell in love with printmaking at the age of fifteen. Between then and now, I've worn a lot of hats: community organizer, environmental activist, union researcher, roller derby queen, single parent, partnered parent, teacher, and artist. I live and work just over the DC border in Prince George's County, Maryland. I enjoy a good comic or graphic novel, and I don't do decaf.
