Lisa Drew

Lisa Drew is a Minneapolis-based digital artist and photographer with a passion for storytelling through vibrant, evocative imagery. With over four decades as a professional classical singer, her creative work is deeply rooted in a love for artistry and nostalgia. Lisa’s acclaimed Lisa’s Road Trip series combines digital paintings and flash fiction to capture the spirit of vintage Americana, transforming roadside landmarks and signs into compelling visual narratives. Her photography, ranging from quirky wildlife portraits like “Minnesota Moose” to architectural studies, reflects a keen eye for detail and a deep appreciation for the Midwest’s natural and cultural landscapes. Influenced by her Midwestern upbringing and her lifelong engagement with music, Lisa’s work invites viewers to connect with their own sense of memory and place. Her creative process often begins with her camera, blending traditional and digital techniques to craft each piece. Lisa’s work has been featured in gallery exhibits, and she continues to explore new ways to share her artistic vision.
