Meet Lisha Bai

Lisha Bai is a painter and an artist. A graduate of Washington University, Bai attained her MFA in Painting/Printmaking at Yale University.

Between 2006 and 2010, she was also a visiting artist at Lehman College, Rhode Island School of Design, and Rubin Museum of Art among others.

On top of teaching art, Bai's art is displayed all over the country. Her exhibitions go way back to when she was still studying for her MFA at Yale.

And while her work is on display in several states, including New York, Philadelphia, Massachusetts, Vermont, and Minneapolis, her talent is not limited to the US alone. Her most recent exhibition was at the Dense Mesh in London.

However, when the couple welcomed their second child, they let their fans and supporters know through Scanavino's Twitter. The couple welcomed their second child, Leo, in 2016.
