She arrived as a familiar face in the art department, previously teaching the university’s Arts and Global Culture course and Western Art History 1450 to 21st Century as an adjunct instructor.

Her areas of expertise include German Romanticism, landscape art, and 18th and 19th century Pietism.

Lisa earned a PhD in art history from the University of Salzburg in Austria in 2020, and she holds a master’s degree in art history from the University of Oregon (1988) and a bachelor’s degree in psychology from the University of Portland (1983). She lives in Portland with her husband Peter, and they attend the Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church in Portland.
