Lisa A. Frank

Lisa A. Frank creates striking digital photographs inspired by personal experience and close observation of the natural world. Using photographs of local landscapes, flora, and fauna, she digitally layers imagery with intricate decorative patterns, transforming recognizable scenes into richly textured, immersive compositions that balance reality and imagination.

Influenced by Britain's Aesthetic Movement and the designs of William Morris, Walter Crane, and others, Frank incorporates ornamental structures that lend historical resonance and visual complexity to her work. Many pieces in this exhibition are drawn from Remnants, a series inspired by Sandhill and Whooping Cranes observed at the Aransas National Wildlife Refuge in Texas. Through these works, she reflects on the beauty, fragility, and resilience of endangered species and the natural world.

Frank is a Sony Alpha+ photographer and a MacDowell Fellow. She holds an MFA in Design Studies from the University of Wisconsin–Madison and a BS in Art Education from UW–Stout. Her work is included in numerous corporate, healthcare, and private collections.
