Welcome!
This site showcases the many ways my artwork can be put to use – as fine art prints, fabric, wall covering, theatrical projections, videos, VR apps, and... who knows what's next?! Collaborative projects with challenging goals are always welcome. Please take advantage of the many PDF links included throughout the site. These eBrochures describe my work more thoroughly and are intended to be downloaded, shared, and kept on hand for future opportunities.
Prints from several portfolios are available for direct purchase through the online store. Other work featured on the website may also be purchased. Contact lisafrank@lisafrankphotography.com for more information and availability. I am now able to create viewing rooms that will allow you to showcase potential selections for your clients. Let me know if you are interested in having one set up.
I look forward to hearing your requests, questions, and thoughts. Recipes and gardening tips are also welcome! Most importantly, thank you for visiting this site. I appreciate your support and interest in independent artists. It's people like you who help keep working artists in the business of creating artwork.

UW Health University Hospital, Madison, WI
with Mandy Kron, UW Health Art Project Manager
Rich tapestries of butterflies, dragonflies and vibrant florals bring the elevator cabs of the busy UW Health University Hospital to life.
These are highly trafficked elevators that transport visitors, patients and staff to the inpatient units—a potentially stressful experience for many. Now, elevator riders are drawn into a macro world as it hasn’t been seen before, charged with wonder. The light boxes' bold colors and unexpected scale provide a welcoming space where troubles can be set aside for a brief spell. Here, the anthers of an orchid and the antennae of a swallowtail butterfly are momentarily mesmerizing and represent the healing powers of the natural world.
About Lisa
Lisa A. Frank is a fine art photographer who explores the natural world, searching for oddly decorative and darkly mysterious subjects that can be digitally fractured and ornamentally rejoined, creating intricate artworks with a lively story of their own.
Sony Alpha Female+
Beginning in November 2020 I traveled to 15 zoos to photograph animals in captivity with the intention of staging them inside the Thorne Miniature Rooms as updated natural history dioramas. The animals are depicted interacting with the domestic verisimilitude of Mrs. Thorne’s miniatures like a cast of characters in a one-room drama. Part dollhouse, part theatrical set, part tableaux, the reimagined rooms juxtapose the wild with the cultivated using digital taxidermy and contemporary discomfort.
