Join us for our next General Meeting, Wednesday, November 5, at 6:30pm. Lisa Chertok will be our speaker, sharing her creative journey and discussing classes, workshops, and online photography membership groups that have helped her develop as an artist.
Lisa Chertok is a resident of Howard County, Maryland, a Procurement Manager for SAGE Dining Services, and an amateur nature, macro, wildlife, and creative photographer.
Lisa was born in Paisley, Scotland to father Rabbi Sion David from Bombay, India and mother Helaine David, from Louisville, Kentucky, and raised in Southwestern Pennsylvania. Her lifelong quest has taken her to many countries to meet all her aunts, uncles, and cousins who are spread out over four continents.
Lisa’s grandmother, Bernice Mazin, was an acclaimed prolific artist who left a lasting artistic legacy with her children, grandchildren, and community. An annual Mazin Family Juried Art show is held annually in Louisville and attracts participants from around the country. Lisa’s aunt Marilyn M. Miller is a world renowned sculptor based in New York.
From an early age, Lisa loved taking and sharing photos. As a teenager at summer camp, Lisa learned film photography with a Pentax 35mm film camera borrowed from a family friend. She loved learning about film photography and development and went on to be her school’s yearbook photographer.
Lisa graduated from Penn State University where she earned a BA in General Arts and Sciences, focusing on International Marketing and French. Lisa has enjoyed a storied 30+ year career in the foodservice purchasing world.
Lisa lives in Columbia, MD with her husband Mark, a soon to be retired letter carrier with the US Postal Service and their young adult children, Adam and Tova, recent graduates of Salisbury and Towson University respectively.
