Lissette has exhibited nationally and internationally in solo and collective shows. She was a Cintas Foundation Fellowship Finalist in 2013 and an artist-in-residence at ArtCenter/South Florida (now Oolite Arts) from 2010 - 2015.
Lissette recently completed a project residency at the Deering Estate where she collaborated with her husband and creative partner, Bill Cruz.
