Printmaker and artist Lisa Jungmin Lee
is fascinated by the lines of connection people create as they move through the world.

She explores these lines with paper and ink, with sculptural wires, and with playfully dancing graphic computer images (like "Dancing Mulgogi," shown below).

Lisa has traced more than a few lines across the globe herself. She's lived and made art in cities as diverse as Seoul, South Korea; Rome, Italy; and Philadelphia. She received her MFA in printmaking from the Tyler School of Art and Architecture at Temple University, and now teaches printmaking to students at both Villanova and Cairn University.

Portside Arts Center is pleased to welcome Lisa as a teaching artist for a much younger (though no less eager) group of students. Starting October 30, she will teach a 4-week class series in monotype printing for kids ages 4-11 at Portside's Cherry Street Pier Studio - Studio #5 - at 121 North Christopher Columbus Boulevard in Philadelphia.

​"I enjoy exploring the printmaking process with children," Lisa explains "because they just naturally and freely express what they think and see with print media, which shows an infinite possibility in printmaking with colors and different materials! I even learn a lot from kids by seeing them use strong, vivid colors and simple mark making."
