About Lisa Fittipaldi's famous paintings

Her History and Work

She is a self taught artist who began painting after a severe loss of vision due to Cogan’s disease from MCTD and Giant Cell Arteritis. She initially began painting in watercolor and eventually signed with 

an international art gallery who encouraged her to paint abstracts in acrylics and realistic images in oils on canvas. 


She is also known internationally as a sculptor and renown author. In 2025 she returned to painting full time, after a series of complex medical issues and a successful run in figurative clay work.

When  Lisa Fittipaldi went blind at the age of forty-seven, she descended  into a freefall of anger and denial that lasted for two years. In this  moving memoir, she paints a vivid picture of the perceptual and  emotional darkness that accompanied her vision loss, and her arduous  journey back into the sighted world through mastery of the principles of  art and color. The challenge of a child's watercolor set, thrown down  like a gauntlet by her frustrated husband, opened the door to a new  life.
