About the Artist
Lisa Ransom Smith studied advertising design at the Columbus College of Art and Design in Columbus, OH. After working to earn a living, she realized that she was missing something. So she took a pastel class. "I have been hooked ever since."
In 2000, Lisa took what few pastels she had and approached a local gallery for representation. "Getting in was great, but was this the direction that I was supposed to be moving in?" Each year sales improved.
But the greatest confirmation for Lisa was when Executive Director Charles Shepard III personally asked her to display her work in "The Holy Calm of Nature" landscape exhibit at the Fort Wayne Museum of Art in April - May 2005. And in April of 2005, she was accepted by the Pastel Society of America as a Signature Member. "I am confident that I am doing exactly what I am supposed to be doing."
