Lisa Marseglia-Moran
Lisa Marseglia-Moran attended Boston College, where she earned a BFA and was awarded the “Alison Macumber Award for Excellence in the Fine Arts”. She then went on to study at the Art Students’ League in NYC. Her love of art lead her to attend graduate school at William Paterson College where she earned her teaching certification.
She began her career as an art’s educator in Little Falls, NJ in 1991. The following year, she began teaching in Paramus, NJ, where she was soon awarded “Teacher of the Year” at Stony Lane Elementary School. Teaching for 30 years, she has had the opportunity to work with thousands of children, from 3–21-year-olds and found a special joy working with children on the spectrum. She took an early retirement in 2021 to spend more time creating and bringing art therapy to adults living with mental illness.
Since retiring, she has been exhibiting and selling work throughout the New Jersey/New York area. She has received much recognition and won multiple awards for her unique, mixed-media weavings.
She and her husband, Kevin, have four children: Tim, Matt, Jake and Joey. They currently live in Paramus, NJ.

Artist Statement
There is an energy that exists in all living things. For as long as I can remember, I have had a sense of this energy and the belief that it is what connects us.
This series of work, mostly inspired by hikes through the Desert Southwest and Pacific Northwest, expresses the idea that we are connected to each other, to all living things, and to our Earth.
The use of mixed media (including handmade paper, watercolor, ink, enamel, metal and sand from the Red Rocks of New Mexico) and the interwoven images are symbolic of this connection.
