About the Artist

As Lisa O’Brien explores nature through her camera, she reveals elegance in the everyday, gracefully unveiling the beauty in the backyard. Sunlight floods the photographs with a luminous warmth and vitality, revealing a purity of color and form in these images of flowers, leaves, and birds.

Discovering a joyful serenity in details, O’Brien focuses her gaze on the wonder of a single bloom or the intricate patterning of foliage and light. A self-taught photographer, she takes a minimalistic approach to her medium, using few computer interventions but capturing the true beauty and sensation of her scenes. O’Brien prints her works on canvas on an intimate scale, drawing the viewer into the luscious richness of her visions.

Working professionally in a variety of genres, Lisa O’Brien has had her art featured in publications and exhibits throughout Florida in recent years. Also employed as an oncology nurse, she received a degree in Music Education from Hartt School of Music, and one in nursing from Eastern Florida State College, and will soon begin studying at the New York Institute of Photography.
