LISA SANDITZ (b. 1973, St. Louis, Missouri) creates pulsating, vibrantly colored landscapes that capture the intersection between the natural world and the built environment and its effect on food production, consumption, ecology and the economy. Her works are rooted in a fascination of how we organize ourselves in a commercial world and how we value and commodify the landscape. This interest in the commercialized landscape has seen Sanditz focus on farming in America’s Midwest, junk food factories in Arizona and car manufacturing in Detroit. Lisa Sanditz received her BA degree from Macalester College, St Paul, Minnesota, later graduating with an MFA from the Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, New York in 2001. In 2008, Sanditz was awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship. Sanditz’s work has been exhibited internationally in the United States, Italy, China and Belgium and is included in the permanent collections of the Dallas Museum of Art, Texas, the Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art, Kansas and the Columbus Art Museum, Ohio. In 2019 Sanditz was included in the publication Landscape Painting Now, edited by Tom Bradway.
