Biographyedit
Poyser acquired a BFA from Evergreen State College in Olympia, Washington and went on to become a Science Fiction Fantasy Artist after having been inspired by the World Fantasy Convention in 1979. She got her start making over a hundred book and magazine covers as well as the interior art for books in the 1980s, winning her two fan art Hugo Awards in 1981 and 1982.[3]
After marrying her husband, Julius Lisi in 1987, Poyser started going by the name Victoria Lisi. She now works on collaborative children's book illustration as well as instructional painting books such as Vibrant Children's Portraits: Painting Beautiful Hair and Skin Tones with Oils by Victoria Poyser Lisi (2010). Most of her earlier works were in acrylics but now Lisi prefers to work with watercolor because she loves the “transparency, delicacy and unpredictability.”[4]
