Bio and Contact
Lisa Ferber is an award-winning satirist whose festive paintings and comedies of manners celebrate glamorous eccentrics. Her inviting artworks feature a delicate, cheeky elegance and a sophisticated sense of whimsy. Her painting process is about diving into a celebration.
She has exhibited her paintings at the National Arts Club, Prince Street Gallery, Blue Mountain Gallery, Michael Ingbar Gallery, The Painting Center, Chashama, Manhattan Borough President's Office, Governors Island Art Fair, Mayson Gallery, and other venues. Her self-portrait was the marketing image for Estrogenius Festival 2016, and her illustrations were published in Zelda magazine. She sells to private collectors in New York, Paris, London, and Los Angeles. Her paintings were presented at the Jane Austen Society of North America's annual meeting in 2021.
Lisa is the creator, writer, and a star of the film "The Sisters Plotz" (starring Eve Plumb, Lisa Ferber, and Lisa Hammer; directed by Lisa Hammer), which was featured on Amazon Prime. The musical comedy screened in Hollywood at Grauman's Egyptian Theatre after premiering at New York City's Anthology Film Archives. As a shorter project, the film was a Top Five Most-Watched video on FunnyorDie.com. Lisa wrote and starred in the film "Whimsellica’s Grand Inheritance," which won the People's Choice Award in the It Came From Kuchar Festival. She starred in the final film of underground icon Doris Wishman, "Each Time I Kill," featuring cameos by filmmaker John Waters and B-52s frontman Fred Schneider, which premiered at Anthology Film Archives. Her film "The Return of Toodles Von Flooz" played at Zanger Hall after earning stellar reviews as a play at The Red Room.
Her plays have appeared at theaters including La MaMa, Theater for the New City, and The Brick. Her play "Bonbons for Breakfast" was a New York magazine notable production, and she is a lyricist alumna of the Tony-honored BMI Lehman Engel Musical Theatre Workshop. She has read her stories at outlets including KGB, Barbes, Sunday Salon, and Dirty Laundry, and her work is published in anthologies including Have a NYC (Three Rooms Press).
Her insights on beauty are published in the book Face Value (author: Autumn Whitefield-Madrano; publisher: Simon & Schuster), on The Beheld.com, and in the anthology Being Beautiful (White Lion Publishing). She derives much creative stimulation from her hometown of New York City.
