About

Lisa Orth is a multidisciplinary artist based in Seattle, WA, known for her work in the fields of  tattooing, graphic design and digital code-based artwork.

A creative polymath, she began her artistic path in Seattle as a graphic designer and art director. In the late 80s, she worked for such luminary cultural institutions as Sub Pop Records, COCA (the Center on Contemporary Art), and legendary local music magazine The Rocket. As the first official Art Director for Sub Pop, she designed Nirvana’s first records and their now iconic logo, helping to define the grunge aesthetic of the time.

She started tattooing in 2007 and quickly established herself with her uniquely recognizable linework based style. Her distinctive technique is often imitated but never equalled, with clients traveling from across the globe for a chance to receive a piece of her original artwork for their very own. In 2020 she began experimenting with digital, code-based and AI assisted artwork. Her digital art has been exhibited internationally, including exhibitions at Art Basel Paris + , Seattle Art Fair , Vellum Gallery LA, Tannhäuser Generative Art Museum and NFT Show Europe.
