The Artist

Artist Statement and Bio

Lisa M. Sibley is a Lens-Based artist, Fine Art Photographer, educator, and juror.

Her photographic works investigate identity, its relationship to nostalgia, and the beauty in the mundane. Sometimes playful, often contemplative, intimate and emotive; Lisa finds a connectedness to nature while exploring memory, space, place, time, landscape and the Other while constructing visual stories.

Informed by the works of Minor White, Gerhard Richter, Shimon Attie, and Duane Michaels, her processes include projection of vernacular photographs, double exposure, photomontage, self-portraiture, alternative processes in film and digital photography, encaustic, the written word and a healthy dose of mindfulness and serendipity.

Her work encourages the viewer to see beauty in the mundane, and to reflect and remember their own stories of self-identity, place, and time while constructing their own visual narratives

Her work has been exhibited locally and internationally.

She holds a MFA from Lesley University College of Art and Design, Cambridge, MA and BA from Eckerd College, St. Petersburg, FL.

Lisa works between Florida and Northern Virginia. She grew up in the Tampa Bay area and enjoys serendipitously traipsing through landscapes, kayaking in search of abstract imagery and being RaRa to four fabulous humans.
