Short Bio
Multimedia artist Lisa Tolliver is a New York native and consummate tourist. Influences of places where she's lived and traveled, her family's multiculturalism and military service, and early experiences - such as surviving category 5 Hurricane Camille in a flooded coastal town, marching for Civil Rights, and being bused (past KKK headquarters) to integrate grade schools across town - are sometimes evidenced in her works. So, too, is her "four-eyed" mission.
Lisa (AB Harvard, MBA+post-graduate Columbia) attended Ford Foundation-sponsored training for outstanding journalists and media gatekeepers at Columbia Journalism School, and ethnographic and technical skills training at the Library of Congress Fieldschool for Cultural Documentation at BYU, and at the New York and Vermont Folklore Societies. She has exhibited and won awards for photography, radio journalism, writing, oration and cultural documentation.

Her productions are made possible, in part, through the sponsorship by THE FIELD (they grow art!), 360 MERIDIAN (they're all around world class!), DEE HARGROVE (she's the best!), and USPS (they deliver!).
