Lisa Raymer, artist.
A Texas native, I moved to Portland, Oregon, in 2012. Graduating with honors from Sam Houston State University in Huntsville, TX, with a Fine Arts degree and receiving the only art recognition award they offered, the Joseph Polley Paine Art Award. Spent time in the mid-80s in London, England, studying portraiture on my own and doing street portraits at Piccadilly Circus. Best time ever.
Even through many years as an entrepreneur in design, craft and retail importing, art was always in my soul. In Portland, I was able to start a new life and make it my priority again, rebuilding my portfolio with a indescribable joy each day I step into my studio and create. I hope you enjoy my work.
