Lisa Gleim is part of a long line of Southern artists, some of whom are also successful artists. She has always had an interest in painting, and even from an early age, was committed to becoming a traditional portrait painter. A graduate of the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, Ms. Gleim has studied under Burton Silverman, Cedric and Joanette Egeli and Margaret C. Baumgaertner and Marc Hanson. She finds it very important to continue her education and believes "an artist's education is never-ending."
Aside from portraiture, Lisa is also an award-winning landscape artist. She works in both pastel and oil when painting the landscape, and achieves two very different styles from each medium. She is particularly interested in capturing the beauty of light and how it affects the landscape. Each year she travels with a friend to paint on location for a week. Her destination of choice is usually the Southeast coast where she grew up spending time during her summers, as reflected in her work.
Both her landscapes and portraits can be found in many private collections throughout the East Coast, including the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, Orthopaedic Division, the chambers of the Honorable Vice-chancellor Jack B. Jacobs in Wilmington, Delaware and Astra-Zeneca Pharmaceutical.
In 2000, after working and residing in Philadelphia for eight years, Ms. Gleim and her husband, Bill Jonas returned to her native home of Atlanta, Georgia where she maintains her studio and residence.
