Life

She entered Andersen's studio as the youngest student at the age of 14, and it was here that she took her first steps in still life and life drawing . Engels attended the Vienna School of Applied Arts and then the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna. Andersen 's view, which was based on Paul Cézanne's late work , of depicting nature in an orderly, sometimes arranged structure, remained connected to Lisl Engels throughout his life.

This also had an important artistic influence on her. Since 1974 Lisl Engels lived with her family in Thalgauegg.
