Lisa olivarez
Lisa Olivarez is a native Michigander and a professional artist. Hailing from Waterford, on "the other side of the state", she had a very active and outdoorsy childhood spending most of her time roaming the forest near her home, boating, biking, playing sports, reading, and drawing. These activities led Lisa to hold a deep connection with nature, which is evident in her artwork. She especially loves to paint outside directly from her surroundings, frequently with her group of painting friends from the Plein Air Artists of West Michigan. (paawm.org)
Art and sports were her twin passions in High School, and although she chose not to continue playing in college, sports remained a large part of her life. "There was such a hollow feeling when competitive sports ended for me. However, art remained and is really my constant," says Olivarez. "I'm always creating, always looking for images to paint or draw, always analyzing color and light and shadows." She contented herself with watching her children play sports. "My four kids all played soccer and I enjoyed watching them throughout the years. Actually, My daughter still plays in college. Without the initial encouragement of Dan Bulley, she may never have had that opportunity."
After stints at MSU and the College for Creative Studies, Lisa enrolled in Wayne State University in Detroit where she earned a BFA in studio art. It was a pleasant shock for her to realize that as much as she loved nature, she also loved city life. "Very energizing," she says of her time living in the Cass Corridor. "My apartment was within walking distance of the Detroit Institute of Arts, which was free at the time. I will never forget the first time I walked in. It was fantastic."
During her time in Detroit, she met a group of amazing Christian people who had purposely moved to the inner-city to, build stronger neighborhoods, mentor kids, and help families. They dedicated their lives to the people of Southwest Detroit and changed many lives as a result, hers included. Lisa moved into the neighborhood and started helping too. She still volunteers to teach art in Detroit at the ministry one of those people started 25 years ago. She loves it! "It's very important to give back", she says, "It needs to be a conscious part of everyone's life."
A lifelong learner, her artistic practices continue to grow through study with modern masters, books, and museum visits. She has also been an Artist in Residence for the National Parks Service, in Michigan and on Paros Island in Greece. Her husband, Angel, is very supportive of her endeavors and helped to build her a new studio surrounded by nature and overlooking their little lake. Lisa's art may be seen locally at Earthly Delights at Amy Zane's in downtown Kalamazoo and on her website at lisaolivarez.com
