Lisa Noble – Biography

Lisa Armstrong Noble (American, b.1973, Winnipeg, Canada) began her formal artistic training at the Alberta College of Art & Design in 1997. She moved to the United States in 1998 to complete her BFA at the Corcoran College of Art & Design in Washington, D.C. During each year of study, Noble’s efforts were recognized with the Dean’s Merit and Corcoran Scholarships. In 2020, Noble received a Wherewithal Recovery Grant from Washington Project for The Arts, and the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts.

Noble’s first exposure to art occurred at the age of four, while during a field trip with her Kindergarten class to the Winnipeg Art Gallery she saw a painting by British artist Brigette Riley. Riley’s distinctive Op Art style of black and white form and the disorienting effects of her canvases instantly struck a chord with Noble, who was at once profoundly impacted by art’s innate power to dissolve the veneer of the everyday.

Noble’s work is included in many private collections across the U.S. She has been recognized by The Washington Post, The Washington CityPaper, The New York Times, Miami New Times, D.C. Pulse Magazine, and Studio Visit Magazine. Noble was named one of Washington’s ‘25 Most Beautiful People’ by Washingtonian Magazine.
