about the artist
Lisa Rickard, a Philadelphia-born contemporary figurative painter, is an emerging classically trained artist focusing on nude figure allegories. Rickard’s paintings honor the nude model.

She earned her BFA in Graphic Design from the Milwaukee Institute of Art & Design and studied drawing and painting at Temple University’s Tyler School of Art. As a ZUMBA® dance fitness instructor, she created custom choreography for her participants which has served to enrich her artistic anatomy knowledge and expressive design of human form.
