About the Artist
Louis Frisino
Louis Frisino has been interested in art since childhood. His
love for dogs and wildlife was an incentive to develop his
talent. Deaf since birth, he attended the Maryland School for the
Deaf in Frederick, graduating in 1953. He later graduated with
honors from Maryland Institute College of Art, receiving at that
time the Peabody Award. Since then he has exhibited in art
festivals all along the Eastern seaboard, winning numerous awards
for his work. He has done extensive art work including the
drawing of 45 separate fish for the 1970 edition of Fishing in
Maryland, published in Baltimore. In addition, his work can be
seen in many art and specialty shops across the United States.
He won first place in the Maryland Duck Stamp contest for
1976/77, 1986/87 and the 1993/94. Louis Frisino won the first
Maryland Trout Stamp contest in 1977, then finished first again
in 1978 and 1979. He won the first North Carolina Sportsman
License Stamp contest in 1987. In 1985 he won the Marie Conway
Memorial Purchase Award (second place) and in 1986, 1988 and 1991
he won first place in the Ward Foundation World Championship
Wildfowl Painting Competition at Salisbury, Md. In 1977 he took
2nd place in the National Turkey Federation contest.

Louis Frisino has worked from photographs on special orders to
capture the uniqueness of a personal pet. He is retired from the
News American, where he was employed as a commercial artist for
25 years. He is now a full time artist at home with his wife
Elaine, and the youngest of their three children. A sketch of
Louis Frisino's life is included in Deaf Heritage, published by
