Lisa is self-taught and didn't achieve momentum in her career until she was nearly 40 years old.

In March of 2021, she was named "One of the 50 Most Inspiring People and Companies According to Industry Creatives," published by AdWeek. When she’s not making art, you can find her racing bikes. She lives, cycles, and works in Portland, Oregon. (Image credit: Photograph of Lisa Congdon, 2023 Courtesy of Francis Tatem.)
