Lisa has had the mission of giving a voice to the unheard for as long as she can remember with the mindset of utilizing art as a medium to engage, educate and more importantly promote self expressionism.

Since arriving in the DMV from Mannheim Germany, Lisa has immersed herself in creating purposeful art and fostering community relationships through artist collectives and movements that use art to effect positive change in our youth. "Someone can go further than they thought they would because someone else told them they could," Lisa says. 

In 2006, Lisa Jones produced and sponsored the Silver Star School Arts Competition grades 9th - 12th, an innovative program that provided educational seminars, showcased artworks, involved parents and professional artists partnered with DC public and charter schools so that youth had the opportunity to develop more fully as knowledgeable artists.

In 2008 sponsored the 3 day Washington DC Convention Center International fine arts expo featuring more than 100 artists from all over the world. This affair benefited Howard University art department, Hoop Dreams and Dr. King Memorial. 

For continued philanthropic endeavors Lisa was awarded the Howard University Office of Director Armour J. Blackburn University Center "Support of the Arts and Youth" Award.

This passion continues as she advocates and showcases artists 13 - 24 years old from a range of artistic disciplines, to connect, create, and celebrate.
