Lisa Frank is an American pop artist and founder of Lisa Frank Incorporated, headquartered in Tucson, Arizona.[1] The artist's work appears on various commercial elementary and middle-school products, mostly school supplies. Also common among Lisa Frank-related items are stickers and a variety of other merchandise such as clothing, toys, and even light switch covers, primarily marketed towards young girls.
Frank founded the company in 1979 at the age of 24,[2] and her success resulted from her sticker line. The company's headquarters is in Tucson, Arizona, and is easily visible because of the bright hearts, stars, and music notes decorating the side of the building. There is currently a quarterly magazine also named Lisa Frank.
In 2005 Lisa Frank divorced James Green, the CEO of the company and co-share holder. The court agreed to assign control of the company to Lisa Frank.[3]
Her corporation's artwork features extremely bright and vibrant colors, and round, smooth, reflective surfaces. A number of characters recur on 'Lisa Frank' branded items, such as a Hollywood Bear, and Markie the unicorn. Rainbows and especially the color purple are abundant in Lisa Frank's art.
Frank is an alumna of the Kingswood School (today: Cranbrook Kingswood School).
