Lisa’s writing, illustrations and original art have appeared in the following publications:
Lisa Firke writes and creates art in the funky modern house in Princeton where she grew up.Her father remade what originally was small gray ranch into a modernist marvel while she was still a child. He gave it gigantic windows, tipsy skylights and undulating walls.The family filled it up with all the necessities: animals and art supplies, books and typewriters, plus many now-iconic Midcentury objects that continue to influence Lisa’s aesthetic.
Lisa has always loved printed matter. Career-wise, his has variously meant founding and producing literary magazines; publishing her own essays, stories and illustrations; and selling fine art prints.Currently, Lisa is diving deep into analog processes like dip pen drawing, linocut carving and printing, and collaging with hand-painted papers. These original materials are then brought into Procreate and used to enhance the editorial, book cover, and poster art featured in her portfolio.
