Arel Lisette
Bio: Arel Lisette is a visual artist working with charcoal and pastel to create drawings on paper. Drawing through erasure, her works address the nuances of the American identities and narratives held within roadside business, political, and religious signs across the United States. She earned her MFA from Columbia University, is a graduate of the Tamarind Institute of Lithography, and received her BFA from the Corcoran School of the Arts and Design. Arel has been awarded an Elizabeth Greenshields Foundation Grant twice, and has attended artist residencies at the Vermont Studio Center, the Alex Brown Foundation, the Macedonia Institute, and the Atlantic Center for the Arts.
