About the work of Lisa Mihm, curator Aron Baker says she “paints romantic landscapes with a loose, confident hand that makes us realize how much we have missed paintings made without the use of masking tape. We soon see how appropriate her technique is to her subjects – ephemeral scenes that suggest nostalgia while retaining a touch of danger and excitement.” Since receiving her MFA from UC/Santa Barbara, Mihm has had solo shows at Contemporary Arts Forum in Santa Barbara and at the Hayworth Gallery in Los Angeles, and her work has appeared in group shows in Los Angeles, Chicago, and New York.
