Known for her luscious, expressive oil paintings on glass and canvas, Lisa Lala became well known for her Birds on a Wire series. Other series include the Hill series, Ferris Wheel series, and most recently, the List series. Paintings from all series often include her drawings, random doodles, and stream-of-conscious writings sketched into the thick paint with a carpenter's pencil.

Lala's parents are sculptor Wil Lala, and painter/sculptor Susan Lala. Growing up in the American midwest, Lala was raised with a global perspective as her family often traveled to impoverished countries as medical volunteers. Her education continued at the University of Kansas where she received a BFA. Subsequently she studied under New York painter Wolf Kahn, Slovenian painter Tjasa Demsar (in France), and abstract painter Philomene Bennett in Kansas City. With over ten sell-out shows since her launch in 2003, Lala's work is now in many notable public, private and museum collections. Lala is represented by galleries in six cities: Atlanta, Chicago, Kansas City, LA/Laguna Beach, Little Rock, and her hometown Manhattan, KS. She has also exhibited in Belizian Arts, Central America and Anthem Gallery in NYC.
