Her first potter's mark paid homage to her academic life in Physics through a combined symbol. Lisa indicated that she changed her maker's mark about 2019. Both are shown below. She also includes PEI  when signing her work.

During the summer of 2025, as part of the 60th anniversary of the PEI Crafts Council, the exhibition “Excellence in Craft,” featured a wide variety of well-crafted contemporary pieces inspired by PEI’s talented fine craft community, including two pieces by Lisa Steele. This exhibition was mounted in partnership with the Eptek Art & Culture Centre. The show catalogue indicates, "These raku pieces use burnished clay and ferric chloride acid to evoke the sensor of movement within natural turbulent flows of fluids, with layering evoking a sense of depth and motion as in storm clouds at sunset."
