ABOUT
Lisa Schonberg is a printmaking artist and teacher. She explores the world of printmaking by combining a variety of processes including relief, intaglio, monoprinting, screenprinting and cyanotypes. Her images evoke a reverence for nature and exhibit phenomena related to the sea, water reflections and flow, wind currents, earth formations, shadows and light, and entangled foliage along with other natural ephemera. The abstracted and patterned layers, colors and forms are meant to be celebratory reminders of the beauty and mystery that our natural world has to offer.
Lisa received an MFA in Printmaking from Kent State University and a BFA from Ohio University. She is retired from teaching, and has taught at Baldwin Wallace University, Notre Dame College and the Cleveland Institute of Art/Continuing Ed. Dept. Her 40 year teaching career includes a variety of experiences from teaching in public and private schools to participating in artists’ residencies and internships.
Lisa has been a resident artist at Zygote Press since 2007, a non-profit print studio and gallery in Cleveland, Ohio where she produces her prints, teaches and volunteers. She received an artist residency in 2018 from the Morgan Paper Conservatory in Cleveland, Ohio and was the 2013 recipient of an Ohio Arts Council/Zygote Press’s Dresden, Germany artist residency. Lisa’s prints have been exhibited in galleries and at juried, invitational and solo shows since 1984. Her work is in the collections of the Cleveland Museum of Art, the Cleveland Clinic Foundation, Southwest General Hospital, MetroHealth Center/Glick Tower, Summa Health System, Cuyahoga Community College, Case Western Reserve University, Morgan Paper Conservatory, Hahn Loeser, LLP, the Ohio Arts Council, Zea Mays Printmaking Studio in Florence, Massachusetts, Grafikwerkstatt, Dresden, Germany and the Cuyahoga County Headquarters in downtown Cleveland among other corporate and private collections.
