Name Brigitta Frisch 
 
Brigitta enjoys a lasting and rewarding career as a Houston based artist. Her artistic talent was recognized, while a secondary school student, when she won awards for her drawings.

Educated as a Fashion Designer in trade school and at the Institute for Economic Advancement in Vienna, Austria, later studied Drawing and Watercolor at the Vienna Community College. After moving to Texas in the late seventies she continued her education at the Houston Watercolor Art Society studying under Marge Brichler, and the Glassell School of Art studying under Phillip Renteria and Charles Schorre. She was awarded several scholarships for her drawings and watercolors, and her works were exhibited in the Glassell Student Exhibition.

Brigitta’s works were exhibited in local galleries, art shows, and in galleries in her native country. They included commissioned art works, and they are in private collections on both sides of the Atlantic. Her pastel “Escape” was awarded a honorable mention by the Houston Art League. She has been successful in developing a unique personal style, a talent expressed as abstract symbolism rendered in pastels and mixed media in earlier years, and in more recent years, expressed as realism rendered in colored pencil.

Brigitta and her art work appeared in various magazines and newspaper articles including the Houston Chronicle feature “Women Creates World From Palette Colors”, and she will be among a selected group of artists included in a new book titled “Global Village Art: How New Materials, Techniques, and Technologies are Changing the Art World”.

Education, intensive research and study of different art forms and styles and the lasting experiences as an artist assisted her parallel career as a recognized art instructor in the area. Brigitta’s creativity, energy, and talent has inspired many students at all ages in private and public education programs, including programs at City Art Works (formerly Creative Alternatives), the Katy Independent School District, the University of Houston and the Museum of Fine Arts Houston.

Brigitta is a member of the Color Pencil Society of America and the Houston Art Educator Association, and a board member of the City Art Works.

In the late eighties Brigitta founded Art Images, a visual arts enterprise specializing in imaginative fine art.
