Lisa Krannichfield

Questioning tradition and societal norms, Lisa Krannichfield’s portrayal of women breaks with the traditional depiction of the female subject throughout the history of art.

Her works use traditional Chinese inks in ann untraditional manner, often mixing with unconventional materials to produce fresh and unexpected works. In 2018, Krannichfeld won the Grand Award in the 60th Annual Delta Exhibition at the Arkansas Arts Center, and exhibited at the Coagula Curatorial Gallery in Los Angeles. She was named “One to Watch” by Saatchi Art, and a “Woman to Watch” in Soiree Magazine. Her work has been featured in Anthropologie, and can be found in private collections around the world.
