Lisa Brown is a multidisciplinary artist and storyteller whose practice spans analog photography, sculpture, and community engagement. Born into the rich heritage of African and Mexican cultures, her work is deeply influenced by the resilience, beauty, and complexities of these histories. Lisa’s art delves into themes of healing, self-discovery, and cultural preservation, creating spaces for reflection and transformation.  

Lisa’s journey into photography was inspired by her grandfather’s captivating street photography and her early fascination with the darkroom, where she discovered the magic of light shaping stories. Over time, her practice expanded to include sculpture and ethnographic approaches, enabling her to connect with communities and honor their narratives. From documenting the lives of women in Baltimore’s prisons to capturing the spirit of children in Ghana’s northern regions, Lisa’s work amplifies voices often overlooked and celebrates cultural resilience.  

Currently pursuing an MFA in Community Arts at the Maryland Institute College of Art, Lisa combines her academic pursuits with fieldwork and mentorship. Her contributions have been recognized by institutions such as the Pittsburgh Art Society and Dayton Art Institute. She has also been supported by transformative fellowships, including mentorship under Titus Brooks Heagins, which have guided her in navigating the art world while deepening her practice.  

Lisa’s work centers on the idea of healing—both individual and collective. Through her lens and her hands, she bridges cultural and generational gaps, exploring shared human experiences. Heal Her Photography  represents her commitment to capturing and honoring stories that inspire connection, understanding, and transformation.  

Art Walk Easthampton takes place on Saturday February 1st from 4-7pm.
