About

 

 

Lisa Frick has been an active participant, patron and student of art as long as she can remember. From as early as grade school she had dreams of opening a retail shop while she was creating macramé plant hangers and free form fiber sculptures. Throughout high school she could be found in the art department working on murals for the prom, pottery or drawing. After high school she learned to airbrush T-shirts, moved to Lake Ozark and then realized her dream by opening her first retail store-Frick & Frack- at the age of 21. A few years later, she opened the Lisa Frick Gallery- a fine American

craft gallery which operated for 13 years. Through all of this she utilized her airbrush skills to paint photo realist airbrushed paintings and murals. She then added studio oil paintings, plein aire paintings, whimsical canvases, and the painted furniture she is producing today.

 

Lisa was born and raised in Washington, Mo. where she grew up spending her weekends in the garden or on horseback at her grandparents' farm. Her grandmother's gardening instruction and inspiration continues to this day and grows into her own gardens. Not only an artist, she has an insatiable desire for the outdoors and adventure. Her adventures have opened the doors for many opportunities, including working 1400’ underground on a film crew for the National Geographic ‘Mysteries Underground” special, and many trips to back country Mexico, Belize, Guatemala, Honduras, Thailand

and Peru. She currently lives and works in her studio in the woods near her hometown in Marthasville, Missouri.

 

In addition to being a painter and adventurer, Lisa recently completed a 30 year run as the proprietress of three boutiques at the Lake of the Ozarks.  The first, Frick & Frack, was a colorful ‘hippie’ store, which fulfilled her whimsical side, open for 30 years.  The second being Artsy Fartsy, which fulfilled her need to be surrounded by beautiful and fun art.  The third was the Lisa Frick Gallery, which featured fine American Craft and art, nestled in a quaint rock house.  She studied art at East Central College and University of Missouri, Columbia.
