Holding Things Up to the Light with Lisa Egeli

LIVE from Plein Air Easton 2024, Tim and Jess talk with alumni artist Lisa Egeli. Lisa deep dives on her approach and philosophy to both her plein air work and her portraiture. Lisa Egeli paints the people and places we care about most.  Her ability to bring out the character of her portrait subjects has led to repeated commissions by many clients. Lisa has completed multiple commissions each for Johns Hopkins Hospital, Elon University and Washington College. Other portrait clients include but are not limited to the State of Maryland, University of California Davis Medical School, the University of Maryland Medical School, the George Washington University Law School and the Maryland National Guard. Lisa's land and seascapes portray the uniqueness of a place in a moment of time, capturing the light and its seemingly magical effects on the scene. Her work is inspired by her love of nature, and a belief in the need to highlight the vulnerability of our natural world.  Her penchant for travel has allowed her to build a body of work including views from around the world, working both en plein air and in the studio, most commonly in oil and often in pastel or watercolor. Her paintings have been featured in numerous exhibits and are held in many permanent collections.  Follow Lisa Egeli: Official Site Follow Plein Air Easton: Official Site Facebook Instagram YouTube Instructional Videos To inquire about being a guest or sponsoring the Plein Air Easton Podcast, send us an email at [email protected].
