Lisa Staggs
Contemporary Impressionist |

Like many artists Lisa Staggs was drawn to creative pursuits at a young age. Growing up the daughter of an architect in New York City provided the opportunity to develop a love and appreciation for all things artistic. Early interests involved pottery but following a sojourn into the world of health care she returned to her early creative roots and began painting.
"I am completely absorbed in the process - time just falls away while I have a paintbrush in hand. At the same time there is a challenging body of knowledge to master. There are skills one must develop and learn to apply. Art is a completely engrossing activity."
Lisa lives in Nashville, Tennessee with her husband and nine year old daughter. They also have a family farm near Dunlap, Tennessee. She prefers to paint landscapes en plein air although larger works may be completed in the studio using field studies. Lisa is a member of The Chestnut Group.
