About the Artist:
Lisa DeLong received her MA in Art History at Brigham Young University. She studied for her PhD under Professor Keith Critchlow at the Prince's Foundation School of Traditional Arts in London. Her first book Curves: Flowers, Foliates and Flourishes in the Formal Decorative Arts, was published in November 2013 and reviewed in the New York Times. In 2016 she presented a TEDx talk on geometry and education. She was also recently featured in Season 3 of Artful. Lisa is now Head of the Open Programme at the School of Traditional Arts, also designing and conducting educational workshops internationally in places like Azerbaijan, Abu Dhabi, Pakistan, Malaysia, China, Pakistan, and Saudi Arabia for the School's Outreach Programme. In her paintings, Lisa investigates the beauty found in the conversation between order and the unexpected, chaos and cosmos. Both the patterns and the raw materials of her paintings are informed by her travels and research with the School of Traditional Arts.
