Lisa Golightly

LISA GOLIGHTLY is an artist living in Portland, Oregon. Golightly’s paintings center 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. The result is works that capture 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 evolving and shifting.
