Lisa Orr

Lisa Orr discovered her love and talent for art while in her first year of college. Quickly she shifted her focus towards the arts. After receiving a bachelors degree in fine art from UCLA, Lisa continued to create and define her voice as an artist. She worked at Bonhams Los Angeles auction house and a fine art gallery in West Hollywood where she immersed herself in the LA art scene and was continuously introduced and inspired by other artist’s work. Her interests expanded to design and she went back to school for a degree in Interior Design. After completing design school she began working as a sole proprietor in Interior Design while continuing to create her art. For Lisa, expressing herself creatively is essential to experiencing and enjoying her life. Lisa believes art is an important aspect to community and has served multiple years on the Friends of Contemporary Art (FOCA) Executive Committee for the Utah Museum of Fine Arts to help promote contemporary art within the community, build membership and research acquisitions for the museum to purchase.
