Lisa Rodriguez

 Vibrant paintings with an electric luminosity are the unique creations of artist Lisa Rodriguez.  Not only are they intricately detailed, but they have an iridescent quality that will enrapture you.    As one observer stated,“I’ve never seen anything like it.”

After experiencing a stroke at age 42 and open-heart surgery at 43, Lisa is determined more than ever to use her gifting.  Realizing that she could have been a quadriplegic after the stroke, she entered ArtPrize in 2010.  “Peacock Pride," measuring 12 ½’ x 5,' was created over the next 5 months and would total over 1,000 hours worth of work. It is her attention to detail and unique layering technique that make her work so labor-intensive, but it is also why her paintings have such an exceptional saturation of color and stunning phosphorescent shine. 

After recovering from open-heart surgery in December of 2010, she was accepted as the featured artist to showcase “Peacock Pride” from June through August in the Winter Park City Hall Commission Chambers “Art in Chambers” exhibit. “Flight of Fantasy,” and “Eye of the Peacock,” both measuring 60” x 30”were created for the exhibit and showcased as well.  This was an exciting privilege considering Lisa neither lives in Winter Park, nor has a studio there; customary essentials for being accepted.  “Peacock Pride” most recently won “Special Recognition” in the online gallery “Light Space & Time” Open Competition July 2011 as well as a “Meritorious Entry” award in the “Richeson 75 Online Animals, Birds & Wildlife” Competition.  “Flight of Fantasy” was recognized as a  “Finalist” in the “Richeson 75 Online Animals, Birds & Wildife” Competition.

Lisa is a native Floridian and has resided in the Orlando area for 41 years.  A graduate of the University of Central Florida in Graphic Design with a minor in Advertising, she looks forward to her future as an artist and is grateful to be able to continue creating that which she loves.
