Light Space & Time Online Art Gallery is extremely pleased to announce that Lisa Catara has been named as the Gallery’s new featured artist and she will now be promoted by the gallery for the next 14 days in the gallery’s Artist Showcase.
Lisa is an award-winning photographer based in Georgia, USA. She was selected as 1 of the top twelve finalists in the gallery’s 30th Solo Art Exhibition Series. The placement in this competition qualified her artwork to be showcased in this feature.
Her Artist Showcase feature will be promoted to hundreds of major news outlets. In addition, the gallery will also be featuring and promoting her artwork in the gallery’s various social media networks for further exposure.
Below are Lisa’s Artist Biography, Artist Statement and 5 of her photographs submitted to this competition.
As an acclaimed photographer, Lisa Catara's focus lies in looking at the world from a different perspective, finding beauty in the ordinary.
Lisa believes photography saved her. Rather than sit in despair, she bought her first DSLR camera and forced herself to see the world from new perspectives. Out of pain, she found beauty, self-discovery, and absolute magic.
She creates composition which feels intimate/personal, bridging a gap between the work and the viewer. Lisa wants you to feel as if it's your story, too, because she’s learned that- in many ways- we have more in common than we do differences.
Lisa believes art has healing power. She is passionate about cars, travel, and street art.
As a child of creative curiosity, a lifetime spent in and around the Arts and Entertainment was inevitable. If there's a story to be told, I will capture it. There is beauty to be found everywhere, and in everything.
I have come to be known for my use of composition. I want the viewer to feel as if they're there, that my experience could very well be their experience.
With automotive work, I imagine myself reaching out and grabbing the steering wheel of a rare 1961 Jaguar, or getting under the hood of a brilliant restoration.
In my travel photography, it's never just about the architecture of an opera house, but that by looking, you can almost hear music, ascending throughout the hall. My goal is that my images make the viewer feel '”here and now.”
