November 8 Meeting, 7 pm Hybrid Meeting at the Delaplaine Featuring Lisa Sheirer
Our November meeting features Lisa Sheirer, who will speak to us about creating composites using Photoshop.
Lisa Sheirer is a visual artist living and working in Frederick, Maryland. She has a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in painting and printmaking from West Virginia University, and a Master of Fine Arts degree in sculpture from the University of Notre Dame. Ms. Sheirer has been creating artwork for over 40 years.
Lisa works in a variety of mediums. Pixels, clay, inks, paint, pulp painting, wood, glass, found objects, and cast metals, are among the materials she uses. Natural flora, fauna, and mycoflora have been the basis for Lisa’s work over the last 20 years. She has an active social media account of plant life through the seasons in the Catoctin mountains. Plants are documented using photography and citizen scientific research - art series spring from these observations.
Sheirer’s public art projects include a ceramic mural at Baltimore Washington International Airport commissioned by the Maryland Department of Transportation and a glass mural installation in Western MD Health System's lobby. In the recent past, Lisa has had many regional solo exhibitions. In 2022 Lisa was chosen to be an artist in residence at the Y Art Center in Frederick, her studio is located there.
In October, she published two artist books (WaterShed & A Book of Ghosts) about regional plant and animal life. There will be hand-bound and commercially printed books available for purchase. Several exhibitions of WaterShed will be shown regionally in the near future.
