Lisa Haddad is a painter who lives in the Nashville area where she paints, collaborates with other artists and photographs the nightscapes of the city.   She is a graduate of the University of California and has been involved in the education of adults and children both in Santa Barbara and in Nashville.  Lisa is a founding member of the Nashville Collage Collective, a creative arena for exploring mixed media techniques and ideas.  She has worked with artists in the Pacific Northwest as well as in Nashville and finds collaboration to be a greatly enriching and humbling process.  Her paintings have been exhibited in Tennessee, Indiana, California, Italy and New Zealand.  Collage elements have been playing a greater role in her most recent abstract expressionist works, which can be seen at Picture This Gallery in Hermitage.
