bio
Lisa Lee Freeman is a visual artist based in New York's Hudson Valley. She creates abstract cartographic artworks using ink pours, drawing, painting, and collage. Freeman earned her MFA at the School of Visual Arts in 2022 after attending a residency at the school. Her art has appeared in numerous exhibitions and is featured in Wayfinding, an award-winning documentary. Freeman is a member of the Silvermine Guild of Artists and maintains a studio at ArtsWestchester's landmark building in White Plains, NY.
The research, materials, and visual references Freeman uses in her art practice are inspired by her career in magazine and financial journalism. She is interested in ways of using the language of maps and charts to tell stories and express ideas outside of hegemonic numerical frameworks. Her artworks speak to the chaos and complexity of our times. They are cartographies of lived experience that are meditations on getting lost, moving through states of uncertainty, and finding new ways forward.
