She doesn't see color or distance. She can't see dimension or print. So she does what comes naturally! She paints people in vignettes of life, realistically, in watercolor, oil and mixed media. She paints bold dramatic abstracts, richly detailed and spectacular in color.

The artwork of Lisa Fittipaldi demonstrates that true genius extends beyond the limits of our senses. Only a few times each Millennium does the world get to experience the visions of a true genius. We have seen the inventions of Leonardo Da Vinci, and the artistic genius of Picasso. We might wonder how Beethoven was able to compose his most memorable and dynamic compositions after he became deaf, yet we have no doubt of his accomplishments. Within the past few years the world has come to know Lisa Fittipaldi, an artist being recognized as having the evolutionary genius of Da Vinci, Beethoven and Picasso.

The evolution of Lisa Fittipaldi began in the summer of 1995, when to the amazement of everyone, Lisa began painting after being told that her blindness was permanent. Her first work was an astounding accomplishment for an individual without any prior art background or sight. She is a self taught artist who is noted for her unique creativity and a willingness to explore new themes. Her portfolio contains a diversity of material in a magical style that maintains her signature characteristics.

She successfully portrays to the viewer what she ‘sees’ in her mind, rather than what she can not see with her eyes. Her rapid development from painting landscapes and flowers, to complicated figurative studies magnifies her creative gift. Lisa Fittipaldi is hailed as a prodigy with a future of astounding proportions.

Prior to her debut in the world of art, Lisa Fittipaldi was a CPA. She traveled the world observing customs, cultures and experiences of other lands. The foundation for her unique and creative style is based on an 'inner vision' derived from these observations. Her ability to paint a complex subject and capture it's essence, without eyesight, shows a real inner strength. Her paintings have been collected internationally since 1997. She continues to travel the United States, Canada, Europe and Central and Latin America exhibiting her work.

To quote The Austin American Statesman's: "Lisa Fittipaldi lost her vision but not her determination to express herself artistically. How she paints, however, may remain a mystery. It's the question everybody asks and one that confounds even her."
Lisa Fittipaldi is highly honored to have received a gubernatorial appointment, from former Governor / President George W. Bush, to the Texas State Independent Living Council.
