About Lisa Fittipaldi's famous paintings
Her History and Work
Born in Pontiac, Michigan in 1948, Lisa Fittipaldi attended the University of Michigan. She then attended nursing school at the University of South Carolina where she met her husband Al in 1972.
Lisa Fittipaldi was a trauma-care nurse and a Certified Public Accountant before she lost her sight in 1993 to a devastating Autoimmune disease. Memories of having traveled the world with her husband Al, a career Naval Officer, has allowed her to depict daily life in astonishingly rich color and depth. Prior to her vision loss she had no art background.
Since her entrance into the International world of art, she has sold over 15,000 paintings internationally, in oil, acrylic and watercolor. Since 1997, her famous paintings composing complex scenes of diverse cultures and everyday life have been exhibited in museums and galleries around the world. A deep understanding of color theory supplanted her need to "feel" the consistency of the paint to know what color she was using.
