Lisa is an avid plein air painter and runs the Huse Skelly Gallery with Debra Huse close by her side. She has always loved the beach and has been inspired by the beauty and power of the ocean. Seascapes are her favorite subject and continues to be what she paints most often.

Lisa studied graphic design at Northern Illinois University, that started her lifelong career in art. Right out of college, Lisa decided to travel the world as a flight attendant, until her first child and husband grounded her and she started her first art business, Deux Brosses, a faux finishing and mural company. Lisa fell in love with fine art and especially Plein Air. She explored many different mediums and decided on pastels as her favorite.  She studied with colorist, Camille Przewodek, to take her skills and abilities to higher levels. She has studied with some of the best Plein Air Artists in the country, including Ken Auster, Debra Huse, Kim Lordier, Clark Mitchell and many more.  In 2017, Lisa relocated to Newport Beach, Ca, and resumed her longtime love affair with the ocean.
