Instructor Lisa Toto moved from journalism to pursue a career in art which she has been doing for the last 25 years. As an art teacher at Amity High School in Woodbridge, CT, her students have consistently placed in the Scholastic Art and Writing and in the Congressional competitions. In her art, she experiments with old photography process and mixed media. Her work is shown both nationally and internationally, including Hartford State Capitol, Sacred Heart University, University of Bridgeport, Georgetown University, and Moscow, Russia.
