Lisa J. Grossman is a painter and printmaker based in Lawrence, Kansas, whose work focuses on the open spaces and prairies of Eastern Kansas and the Kansas River Valley.
Originally from Slippery Rock, Pennsylvania, Grossman earned an associate's degree from the Art Institute of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and moved to Kansas City, Missouri in 1988 to work as an illustrator for Hallmark Cards, Inc. Grossman began plein air painting in earnest when she discovered the tallgrass prairies of east-central Kansas, and left Hallmark in 1995 to pursue painting full-time. She received a BFA from the University of Kansas in 1999.
Grossman has had fifteen solo shows around the Midwest and on either coast and her work is included in numerous public and private collections. She is a 2009 recipient of the Kansas Arts Commission's Mid-Career Fellowship.
Grossman's work is represented by the Dolphin Gallery in Kansas City, Missouri, the Strecker-Nelson Gallery in Manhattan, Kansas, the Marty Walker Gallery in Dallas, Texas, and the Ruth Morpeth Gallery in Hopewell, New Jersey.
