Lisa Anderson Fratzke grew up in central Wisconsin spending weekends at the family cabin up north. Born into a family with a strong history as stewards of the environment she gathered an appreciation for nature and navigation of the forest. Lisa attended Luther College in Decorah, Iowa. Her junior year she was given the opportunity to study abroad at the University of Nottingham, England, furthering her studies in Art Theory, Art History, and Photography. Upon returning to Luther, her main area of study was the human figure and oil painting, graduating with a BA in Studio Arts. Her travels both abroad and at home have fueled her passion for understanding the human experience, the human form, and our relationship with the landscapes we inhabit. She has had a number of local exhibitions both group and solo including the Banfill-Locke Center for the Arts, the Katherine E Nash Gallery and the MN State Fair. She currently lives in Minneapolis with her husband and daughter.
