Lisa Cyr is an accomplished author and multidisciplinary artist with a content-driven focus. As a recognized artist, Cyr's highly tactile mixed media work is a rhythmic synthesis of drawing, painting, collage, assemblage and sculpture composed to collectively create a new reality with a more expansive, symbolic arrangement. The artist's expansive visual vernacular and innovative use of alternative materials and approaches transcends mere technique, creating a dynamic pictorial idiom that is not only multidimensional but also multi-sensual.
A graduate from The Massachusetts College of Art (BFA) and Syracuse University (MA), Cyr's artistic oeuvre has been exhibited both nationally and internationally in museums, galleries and universities. Her work has also been featured in numerous magazines, books and online. In addition, Cyr's mixed media art is included in the permanent collection of the Museum of American Illustration as well as in private collections. She speaks actively at professional organizations, universities and industry conferences across the United States and teaches in many of the top MFA programs in design and illustration. Cyr is an artist member of the Society of Illustrators in New York City and works in partnership with her husband Christopher Short, painter and 3D illustrator.
