The mother and daughter team of Lisa and Libbie Frost has taken on the audacious task of painting some 42 tall pillars underneath the Jefferson Street bridge as part of the city-wide Creative: Transformation Art festival.

The Frosts are no strangers to the Rockford art scene. The Lisa Frost Studio has distributed Lisa’s paintings, clothing designs, and even a line of dishes internationally.

Libbie Frost is graduating from Boylan Catholic High School this year. And last summer, she completed a large mural on the side of the State Street bridge at Joe Marino Park.

The Frosts took a moment out of their hectic painting schedule in the middle of the mural festival to visit the Register Star newsroom to record a conversation with multimedia journalist Scott P. Yates about the art scene in Rockford.
