Shimko Art

Lisa M. Shimko’s paintings reveal endless curiosity, old memories and daydreaming.

 

Lisa enjoyed her childhood in York County, Pennsylvania collecting rocks and

exploring the terrain of forests and farms. Colors, forms, and textures from nature and

the simple designs of Pennsylvania German folk art infused the foundation of her

artistic aesthetic.

 

In 1994, Lisa earned a BFA in Painting with a minor in Art Therapy from the University

of the Arts in Philadelphia. The urban landscapes of the northeast supplied a different

kind of nature for her to explore– architecture, social issues, history and all the

music in between.

​

Reflecting and expressing multiple muses, Lisa’s painting style ranges from multi-colored painterly abstracts to honed wildlife with a magical twist.

 

Lisa has called South Carolina home since 2000, from the Lowcountry of Charleston to the Appalachian foothills of Greenville, explorations continue...​​
