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 her work historical resonance and visual complexity. 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 a Master of Fine Arts in Design Studies from the University of Wisconsin–Madison and a Bachelor of Science in Art Education from UW–Stout. Her work is included in numerous corporate, healthcare, and private collections.

“To form complex compositions, I position and pose—a warbler here, a liatris there—dozens of bits and pieces cut out from the originals. I add abstractions, textures, patterns, and lighting effects to further illuminate the depth of my reverence for nature onto the 2-D surface.”
