Lise Lemeland is an internationally recognized artist whose works are in the permanent collection of the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum in Washington, DC. Her distinctive paintings have been acquired by top corporate collections, including Universal NBC, General Electric, and Fidelity. In 2007, Lemeland was awarded a Joan Mitchell Foundation Grant, propelling her career and leading to further grants for her art and passion for aerobatics.

Lemeland's personal journey has inspired many. In 2008, she learned to fly to conquer her fear of flying, marrying her flight instructor in the process. Tragically, he was killed in a plane crash in 2010. A single mother of three, she demonstrated resilience by continuing to fly, competing in aerobatic competitions, and then becoming a registered nurse. She dedicated herself to serving others for three years, but then had to leave nursing due to complex chronic illness. Though she is still on her healing journey, she continues to create every day as a professional artist. She is also currently writing her memoir.

With degrees from Stanford University, the San Francisco Art Institute, and a graduate degree in painting from Hunter College, Lemeland brings over three decades of painting experience. She spent ten years teaching as a tenured Associate Professor at Alfred University in New York.

Lemeland's exhibition history includes 58 global exhibitions, a third of which were solo shows. She has lectured at prestigious universities and major air shows, and her work has been reviewed in major publications such as the Boston Globe and Art New England. She is also a published author in leading aviation magazines, including Sport Aerobatics and Women In Aviation.

Lemeland has collaborated with entrepreneurs and politicians worldwide, crafting custom artwork that celebrates their distinct passions and accomplishments, offering a meaningful, collaborative experience. She also continues to create a body of work devoted to patterns, mandalas, and more recently the landscape. These personal studio paintings reflect a shift in her inner world, grounded nature and meditation through repetition.
