Lisa Beth Older’s art is in the collections of two Presidential families, the Museum of Natural History in New York City, the Copelouzos Family Museum in Athens Greece and the Deji Art Museum in China—as well as many private collectors including A-list celebrities.
 

Lisa lost her mother to breast cancer when she was only six years old. Growing up in Florida, she was sent to live with various relatives and individuals. At 16, she took to the road, eventually landing in California, where she lived in a teepee in the mountains, painting, writing poetry, and playing guitar. 
 

She joined LA’s Comedy Store as an MC, studying acts like Robin Williams, Jay Leno, Jerry Seinfeld, and Andy Kaufman. Eventually, she performed alongside Williams and Kaufman. Later, she toured, moved to New York City, and joined venues like the Comic Strip, Rodney Dangerfield’s, and Catch a Rising Star.
 

In the '80s, Lisa lived in the East Village on Avenue A, where she trained with abstract artist Fredda Mekul. Lisa was an integral part of the East Village art scene, hosting art parties that attracted crowds of creative people, including her lifelong friend Joey Ramone. 

​

As an abstract painter fascinated by texture and layers, she developed her signature Bend & Blend style. She feels it's important to preserve and carry on the American tradition of Abstract Expressionism. Inspired by artists like Jackson Pollock, Willem de Kooning, and Lee Krasner—comparisons that continue to amaze her—Lisa believes those who admire these artists will likely appreciate her work as well. “I like to think that I continue to build on their advancements and legacy.
