Lisa Houck works in watercolor, oil on wood, ceramics, mosaics and etching. Each medium allows the artist to invent new ways to play with color and pattern. In The Boston Globe, Christine Temin writes: "Lisa Houck's eye-popping watercolors and oils are flat and densely patterned, with the various sections appearing pieced together, like crazy quilts. Hers is a crowded, cacophonous landscape inhabited by flowers, fish, trees, numbers, raindrops, symbols, and dots like in aboriginal paintings, all competing for your attention."
Houck is a graduate of the Rhode Island School of Design (BFA), and Tufts University/School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston (MFA). Her artwork has been exhibited widely, and is in numerous public and private collections, including The Boston Athenaeum, Brigham and Women's Hospital, Children's Hospital, Boston, Dana Farber Cancer Institute, Fidelity Investments, Hale and Dorr, Massachusetts General Hospital, and the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.
