Born into the hands
of a very artistic mother in Whittier, California in the year
1958; Lisa Zook always had a plethora of different art supplies
close at hand. She has lived in Sherman, Texas, Toronto, Canada
and Severna Park, Maryland. Also being fortunate enough to have
a highly devoted High School art teacher, who inspired her with
his current works in progress, her desire to become an artist
was very strong.
Lisa enrolled and was accepted at The Maryland Institute
College of Art in Baltimore, and after receiving a Bachelors
Degree in Graphic Design and Illustration there in 1980, she
immediately put her degree to use. Employed as a Technical Illustrator
in Silver Spring, Maryland, Lisa worked for a company that designed
and manufactured simulators for the aerospace and marine industry.
Lisa is currently employed at American Frame Corporation in Maumee,
Ohio www.americanframe.com
. There she serves as their Showroom Sales representative as
well as the Director of American Frames Alliance Program.

Keeping her drawing skills honed, Lisa works from figure
models as often as time allows. She paints the scene, or the
figure that just plain grabs her. As of late, her artistic style
has been described as impressionist or expressionist, often using
palette knives to apply her strokes painting alla prima and en
plein air. She tends to enjoy depicting a strong sense of light
and shadow in her work, and loves to find what she likes to refer
to as the 'hard lines' and 'lost edges' in a variety of subject
matter. Aside from painting and her job, Lisa is passionate about
logging as many miles as possible on her 1997 Harley Davidson
Electra Glide.
Currently residing in Toledo, Ohio, Lisa has won numerous
awards, entering local gallery exhibitions and shows.
