As the start of her formal training in the visual field, Lisa Dengler acquired a BA in Architecture near Toronto and in doing so worked with architecture firms in Switzerland, The Netherlands, and Germany. She continued to explore and manifest her visual language through a career in fashion, graphic design, and photography.

In an act of opposition to the fast-paced and constantly fleeting, consumption-based landscape she had found herself working in, she began stone carving in her Brooklyn studio with just a hammer and chisel.

She continues to explore various artistic media and processes in her studio in Mexico City and around the world, focusing on natural materials and classical techniques from a contemporary perspective.
