Bio: Lisa Eve Costanza is a self-taught artist who discovered her passion for drawing and creating at a young age. She credits her father, Pfc Glenn W. Eve, for instilling this passion in her. Her father, a gifted artist & draftsman, worked for the Walt Disney Co. in his early teens & was later assigned to the Signal Photo Corps to document the people and places affected by the Pacific War conflict. Despite her early passion for art, Lisa pursued a career in business and earned a BBA Degree. For over 30 years, she managed the demands of the corporate world while also raising three children. This left little time for her artistic pursuits. In 2014, Lisa made a lifestyle change, transitioning to part-time work & by mid-2019, she was able to fully retire and dedicate herself to painting. Today, Lisa’s preferred medium is watercolor. Each of her paintings holds a unique story & journey. Lisa finds fulfillment in bringing characters & scenes to life with vibrant, fluid, & translucent colors.
Statement: From a young age, I had a passion for drawing and creating. However, I didn't pursue a career in the arts; instead, I chose to study for a business degree. Over the past 30 years, while raising three amazing children and navigating the corporate world, I rarely found the time to paint. In 2014, a lifestyle decision allowed me to transition to part-time work, giving me the precious gift of more time to paint. It was during this period that I started dabbling in art once again. By mid-2019, I was fortunate enough to retire fully. Despite lacking formal training, I immersed myself in art books, magazines, YouTube tutorials, and artist workshops.... dedicating myself to learning and experimenting with paint. Nowadays, I paint or seek creative inspiration nearly every day. Each painting holds its own unique story and journey. It's incredibly fulfilling to let the paint flow, allow characters & scenes to evolve – and then share my creations with others.
