About the Artist:
Lisa Deloria Weinblatt graduated Magna Cum Laude, Art Department Honors, 1987, from Queens College, Flushing, New York. She received her MFA from the School of Visual Arts, NYC, in 1991.
She has been awarded five Artist-In-Residence National Scholarships
In 2005, Lisa exhibited in nine museum shows across the USA. She has had over 35 solo exhibitions and has exhibited in over 175 group shows.
Weinblatt writes, “The SCHOOL LUNCH series is a pictorial essay of contemporary student life, in real educational settings. Contemporary cross-cultural issues and their emotional attitudes are explored in the shared experience of schoo lunch. SCHOOL LUNCH is generated from direct observation, drawing on location in NYC High Schools and Colleges. SCHOOL LUNCH underlines perceptions which affirm cultural identity, brings together ideas espousing contemporary concerns and encourages a belief in the quality of the human spirit.”
