Lisa Sheirer works in a wide variety of mediums. The natural world has long been the foundational concept of her work. Awareness of the flora, fauna, microflora, water, and soil comes from hiking in her neighboring watershed, the ancient Catoctin Mountains. Sheirer goes almost daily into the watershed, documenting life there. Sheirer’s focused study and artistic expression of our natural environment helps us gain awareness of ecological rhythms and change, as we gain our sea legs in an evolving world.
