Lisa Golightly

Oregon painter, Lisa Golightly’s work centers on memory and how photographs form, impact, and alter memory. Using old found photos as the basis for her paintings, she creates works that walk a fine line between the personal and the anonymous. Golightly employs acrylic and gestural brushstrokes to turn photographic images into figurative paintings on aluminum. The result captures the act of suspending time and the innate flaws in doing so. While her work itself displays tranquility, Golightly explores the instability of memory and its constant evolution and shifting.
