Art + Artists

Lisa Esherick is a painter from Berkeley, California, who earned her MFA from San Francisco State.  She has exhibited her work in Germany and the U.S. since 1973. Her work is in both private and corporate collections, including Bank of America Corporation and Standard Oil. In past works she has used the figure to create a range of possibilities for expressive interaction that speaks of the human condition in our contemporary world.  These paintings depict a diversity of people in congested public spaces, showing the tension between maintaining and transgressing boundaries.  Uncertainty is the common denominator.
