Meet Spring Obsession 2024 artist Lisa Striplin Domser

 Lisa Striplin Domser was born into a family of artists. She can remember always being surrounded by art as far back as her great grandmother. For most of her life growing up the kitchen and dining table were used for art. Her father used to say, "The kitchen has the best light".

She laughingly says, "I really didn't have any choice but to eventually pick up a paint brush. It was inevitable".


Lisa was born in Long Beach, California and moved to the motherlode as a young child. She has lived in Tuolumne County her whole life apart from living in Humboldt County for 10 years in the 90's which she absolutely adored.


When Lisa finally decided to get serious about art, watercolor was an easy affordable medium to start with. With the intention of learning with watercolor and then moving on to oil, which was her father's medium, to this day, she still has not moved on to oils. "Every time I sit down to paint with watercolor it is a lesson. A person never leans watercolor. It changes every time I pick up a brush".


Lisa lives in Tuolumne. Her partner of 12 years died of COVID in 2021. She loves to travel and always has a beautiful vegetable garden that she shares with her neighbors and community. Her yard is full of lowers and green grass and is a place where the family gathers. Lisa has vibe children who are grown, and all have significant others. She also has four grandchildren. Two more grandchildren are due this year. One any minute!


Lisa is a Christian who loves the Lord. She loves her family and country. 

God is good.
