Education and career

From 1976-78 Davis attended Cornell University.[1] In 1980, she attained a Bachelor in Fine Arts from the Pratt Institute in New York City.[1] In 1993 she attained a Masters in Fine Arts from Hunter College.[1]

As an artist, Davis' work is an exploration of racial, social, and psychological identity, and through the development of her painting lexicon she expresses her personal experience as an African-American woman in the 21st Century, and, by extension, that of an individual in modern society. [2]

She is currently a Professor of Painting and Combined Media at Hunter College.[3] Lisa also has taught at Parsons School of Design, Cooper Union School of Art, and Yale University.[4]
