Lisa Gleim Fine Art Portraits

Description

Lisa Gleim is part of a long line of Southern artists, some of whom are also successful portrait painters. She has always had an interest in painting, and even from an early age, was committed to becoming a traditional portrait painter. Ms. Gleim is strongly influenced by John Singer Sargent, Mary Cassatt, and Cecilia Beaux, three of the great American Impressionists. A graduate of the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, Ms. Gleim has recently studied under Cedric and Joanette Egeli and Margaret C. Baumgaertner. She finds it very important to continue her education and believes "an artist's education is never-ending."

Ms. Gleim has been commissioned to paint portraits of children and professionals. She enjoys capturing the personality of the subject as well as their likeness. Ms. Gleim works in various mediums such as charcoal, pastel and oil.

Her husband Bill Jonas suggested painting a portrait of Bonnie would help ease the pain of the loss. She soon discovered that she was not the only one who considered her pets part of the family. Since then, Lisa has received numerous commissions for dog, cat and horse portraits, many of which have brought their owners to tears after seeing their pets immortalized on paper.
