Her work was influenced by the bright dynamic colors used in Synchromism, by Greek mythology, and by the lively art and social environment created in her Broad Street home and studio, which was shared with her husband of many years, Charles Daugherty, and her father-in-law James Daugherty, a prominent modernist artist and illustrator. In addition to being an artist, Lisa was an active member of the Fairfield County Connecticut art scene, dedicating much of her professional life to the arts. She taught art in New York and in the Connecticut Schools enrichment programs, appeared on numerous panels and boards, served on the Westport-Weston Arts Council Board, curated and directed art exhibits and managed dance festivals for the town of Weston. She was the director of La Commedia, Comedia dell' Arte Company in New York for 8 years.
