Since receiving her fine arts education, Lisa Meyer-Kairos has continued to paint and show her work around the Monterey and San Francisco Bay Areas and on the east coast. After years of painting industrial-expresionist landscapes in oil, she has shifted her focus to encaustic and acrylic painting. Her current bodies of work are the "White Series", encaustic paintings rendered in a limited palette, and the "Nest" series, acrylic mixed media paintings documenting various found nests, and incorporating aged papers, fabrics, and embroidery.
