Lisa Mittler, born in 1978 in San Antonio, Texas, earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts in Studio Art from Baylor University in May of 2000. Upon graduating she worked at a small advertising agency in San Antonio as an Art Director. One year of sitting in front of a computer was enough time to convince Mittler that she needed to be around people. She quit her job in advertising and went back to school to earn her teaching certification in Secondary Art. She began working as a high school Art and Photography Teacher in San Antonio in January of 2003. Mittler completed her Masters in Art Education at Texas Tech University in 2011. Mittler worked as a public and private school Art Teacher for 15 years before pursuing a career as a barefoot hoof practitioner. She now owns and operates Bare and Balanced Hoofcare in south Texas.
Mittler is a fiber artist, designer and photographer - although, she dabbles in all kinds of different media. When she signed up for an elective class in Weaving at Baylor in 1997, she had no idea the impact it would have on her future. Upon completion of the weaving class, she took several more classes from the incredibly talented fiber artist and teacher, Dr. Mary Ruth Smith, and has worked in fiber since. While her love of fiber began in college, Mittler's love of photography began in high school when she took two years of black and white darkroom photography. She continued to explore 35mm photography in college and taught darkroom and digital photography to high school students for many years.
Mittler's work has been shown in juried exhibitions and galleries all over the country and is included in several private collections in the United States, Canada, Europe and China.
Mittler shares her life with a herd of horses and donkeys, as well as two dogs!
