LISA ZOOK
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 Frame’s Alliance Program. www.lisazook.com
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.
