About Lisa Frost

Lisa Frost is a contemporary Faux-Naive painter whose work explores memory, ritual, and place through a refined language of color and form. Rooted in observation yet distilled toward abstraction, her compositions balance innocence with restraint, creating quiet narratives that feel both intimate and enduring.

Working primarily in gouache, acrylics and oils, Frost develops ideas in sketchbooks and flattened planes of color and simplified shapes that invite emotional resonance rather than literal description. Tables set for conversation, coffee rituals, interiors, and landscapes become stages for reflection. The familiar is edited, softened, and reorganized until it becomes timeless. Storytelling in color.

Her distinctive palette builds a visual atmosphere that suggests stillness, nostalgia, and human presence.

Frost’s practice centers on cohesion and series-based exploration. Each body of work evolves slowly, allowing relationships between shape, space, and tone to deepen across multiple canvases. The result is work that feels collected rather than produced, contemplative rather than decorative. A look she coined Frosty Luxe.

Narrative works for collectors.

She lives and works in Chicago and Rockford, Illinois, USA.
