Lisa Ethier is a business psychologist whose journey into painting began in 2020 as a personal exploration of creativity, emotion, and visual storytelling. With a deep understanding of human behavior and organizational dynamics, Lisa brings a unique psychological lens to her artwork—each piece reflecting themes of resilience, transformation, and the unseen layers of everyday experience.

Her transition from boardrooms to brushstrokes was sparked by a desire to reconnect with intuition and spontaneity. What began as a quiet hobby during a time of global uncertainty quickly evolved into a vibrant practice of self-expression. Lisa’s work explores the interplay of color, texture, and form through the layering and manipulation of oil and cold wax. The tactile quality of the medium builds surfaces that invite viewers to physically engage with the art, feeling the depth and history of each piece. Her artistic journey is informed by Buddhist teachings, the strength and grace of women and goddesses, and landscapes, both real and imagined. Found objects, particularly scrap metal, are often woven into compositions. The interplay of diverse elements creates visual narratives that encourage introspection, celebrate the feminine, and acknowledge the relationship between the human and natural worlds.

Based in North Carolina, Lisa continues to balance her professional consulting with her growing presence in the art world. Whether through canvas or conversation, she remains committed to helping others see more clearly—within themselves and the world around them.
