Lisa Hunt
Lisa Hunt is a visual artist whose screen printed works on paper, canvas, and collage explore the spatial and meditative relationships between patterns. Her work employs lines, symbols, and typographic elements that reveal the infinite possibilities of shape and repetition. Drawing inspiration from textiles, her distinctive use of gold leaf further expands upon these relationships. The influence of traditional West African textiles and African American quilt-making are touchstones in her practice through collage.
Hunt has participated in group exhibitions at national museums and galleries, including the Asheville Art Museum in North Carolina; Claire Oliver Gallery in New York; Highpoint Center for Printmaking in Minnesota; Trout Museum in Wisconsin; and the International Print Center New York. Acquisitions of her artworks are held at the Asheville Art Museum, North Carolina; Weisman Art Museum, Minnesota; and Google Headquarters, New York.
In Spring of 2023, her capsule tile collaboration, Asha by Lisa Hunt for Ann Sacks, launched in the US and Canada. She collaborated with designer Lori Weitzner in 2020 to create Reverie — a collection of wallcoverings and textiles in the United States, Asia, and Europe.
Internationally commissioned and collected, Hunt’s work was featured at the Texas Contemporary Art Fair in Houston, Texas, and has appeared in Pressing Matters, Elle Decor, Interior Design Magazine, and Luxe Interiors + Design magazine. Her explorations of screen printing led to a large-scale edition printing with master printers at the historic Lower East Side Printshop in New York City.
Hunt is a member of the Female Design Council and a founding member of the Black Artist + Designers Guild. She is represented by Uprise Art in New York.
Prior to working as a full-time visual artist, Hunt studied graphic design at Pratt Institute, followed by a 20-year career as a creative director, image-maker, and designer. Today, she maintains her studio practice in Maplewood, New Jersey, where she lives with her husband and their dog, Sally.
