We human beings interact subconsciously through the way we're animated. We read expression, movement, and body language intuitively. This makes the human figure a highly effective tool for visual communication. It speaks on a level beyond what other subjects are capable of. I see a portrait more as a mirror than a simple likeness of someone. It reflects something of each one of us. Painting them allows me the joy of using the language of paint to explore the wonder, truth, and beauty of our shared human experience, and to translate it into something of lasting substance. It's a thrilling challenge to search for and find that poetry within the paint that will transcend the picture on the canvas and convey something meaningful." BIOGRAPHY Lisa Kovvuri is an American figurative painter working in Southern New Hampshire. Her work uses the genre of portraiture to explore the psychology and emotions we live and move through every day, with a goal of creating a compelling, personal, and intimate experience, both visually and emotionally, with the human presence in her paintings. Born in Oakland, CA and raised on Cape Cod, MA, she received a BFA in printmaking from the Cleveland Institute of Art in 1991. When her interest later turned to oil painting, she sought additional training from highly skilled master artists in the fields of realism, figurative and portrait painting. Particularly formative for her artistic development were an intensive painting course with Nelson Shanks at Studio Incamminati in Philadelphia, PA, and a four-and-a-half-year term of study with ARC Master Mary Minifie at Ingbretson Studios in Manchester, NH where she learned the traditional methods of the Boston School. Lisa's commissioned works can be found in the collections of numerous clients, private and corporate, across New England and the Western US coast. Her 2017 solo exhibition, The Portrait Experience was held at the Whistler House Museum of Art in Lowell, MA. She was a resident studio artist at the museum from 2014 to 2019 where she also taught drawing, painting, and printmaking classes in the museum's Youth Summer Art Program. The recipient of several national awards, Lisa's work has been featured in American Art Collector, Southwest Art, and Artscope Magazines, the Portrait Society of America's quarterly journal The Art of the Portrait, The Art Renewal Center's catalogue International Realism, and has been exhibited in exhibitions and competitions nationwide. She is a member of Oil Painters of America, The National Oil and Acrylic Painters Society and Allied Artists of America, and is a Signature Member of The Portrait Society of America.
