The primary theme that drives my art practice is celebrating healing within the black diaspora. Providing sanctuary space for black women to feel emotionally acknowledged in visual arts and through photography have a place/space to heal. Showing extremes of mental health in physical conditions that coincide with the environment. I engage in global art with the intent of bringing to the forefront brown and black humans that are often under-celebrated in the art world.
About the Artist
Lisa Brown was born and raised between Washington, DC, and Compton, California. She had a film camera in her hand at the age of 7. She was inspired by her grandfather, who was a student at Howard Law, but a street photographer in DC in the late 80’s. Photography and darkroom were the first classes she took at the Washington DC Children's museum. She attended secondary education at Prince George’s College, where she acquired a degree in arts. After college, she dove deep into Africana Studies and was guided by many professors to continue to pursue her education further into the field of visual arts. She has been recognized by the Pittsburgh Art Society, Black is Magazine, and The National Museum of Women’s in the Arts.Featured Work
