Monnisa Lewis

Meet Monnisa Lewis, a native of Oak Grove, LA, but now resides in Baton Rouge with her husband of 35 years! She joined the LWS in 2024, and now serves on the board as Technology Chair. Her love of art started at a young age with dress making for 4H, which led to her first degree in Fashion Merchandising. She later went on to obtain her masters in Education where she taught for over 25 years, always finding innovative ways to include technology. She concluded her career in education with the Technology Innovation Department at The Dunham School, where she assisted teachers in integrating STEM and technology into their classrooms. Additionally, she worked directly with students to help them manage their use of technology effectively. She now gets to bring both her love of art and technology together as she serves in this position. Art has always been an outlet for Monnisa, and watercolor has always been her favorite medium. She joined the LWS to meet more watercolorists and is excited to continue to learn and grow in her art journey.
