It’s about how we touch each other’s lives…

how we honor one another…

how we care for our Earth…

most importantly, it’s what we do with the gifts God has given us…

Lisa Mangione is a contemporary realism oil painter specializing in marine and nautical landscapes. She finds unending inspiration in Maryland's Chesapeake Bay, the Atlantic Ocean, and the Florida Gulf Coast. Lisa began creating art at an early age, drawing, painting, and sculpting alongside her mother, a commercial artist instilling in her a deep appreciation for all art forms. This guidance nurtured Lisa's God given natural talent, which grew more evident as she brought her artistic visions to life. Childhood vacations spent on the Eastern Shore of Virginia fishing, crabbing, and beachcombing further cemented her lifelong bond with the water.

Driven by joy in the creative process, Lisa shares her love and respect for nature through her work. She strives to place viewers directly inside her paintings, allowing them to feel the sunshine, smell the salt water, and hear the sounds of the seashore. Her distinct work has been featured in numerous publications and interviewed for podcasts nationwide.
