Lisa Rosowsky is a visual artist working in a wide variety of media, from intimate textiles to large installations. She is a tenured professor at the Massachusetts College of Art and Design, where she teaches typography and book design. She earned her AB from Harvard College and an MFA in Graphic Design from Yale University. Her mixed-media work is grounded in history and deep research, and as the daughter of a Holocaust survivor, she has particular interest in telling the stories of underrepresented and under-voiced. Rosowsky has exhibited nationally, and her artists books are in the permanent collections of the Boston Public Library, Wellesley College, Stanford University, Harvard University, University of Vermont, and the Museum of Printing.
