Lisa Bierer has been working as a full time visual artist for over 20 years. Her early painting career began as a commission-based mural artist, offering design consultation and custom mural work for all types of commercial and residential spaces primarily in southern Minnesota. In 2004 Bierer received the first of four grants which allowed her to pursue a different focus for her painting. These grants created opportunities to attend workshops, execute special projects, and make possible the creation of focused bodies of work for exhibition. Since then, Bierer has executed numerous solo shows and shared exhibits in the region in addition to receiving commissions for larger grant-funded works and installations. Recent years have seen Lisa Bierer’s paintings evolve to include large-scale liturgical works and sacred art commissions. She has been creating installations and seasonal liturgical works for churches and faith communities across the US, Canada, and Australia since 2011. In 2022, Bierer completed her certificate in Liturgical Art and Architecture from St. John’s School of Theology and Seminary in Collegeville, MN.
