Keisha Luzzi-Paul
Born near the mountains and lakes of Upstate New York, with a love of nature and its details, I was given my mother’s Minolta SLR camera when I was a teen. Since then I’ve been unable to pry myself away from photography. My main focus is color, texture and light–as well as being in the moment. Working as a graphic and web designer for over 20 years has also contributed to my aesthetic and process, as I will gladly lose hours in Photoshop to create more artistic versions of various subjects. The more ethereal and dreamy they become, the better. It’s all about being lost in the moment so that hopefully I might find a “new view.”
Recent shows and sales at: the Wilton Arts Council’s Photoshow ’13 & Photoshow ‘14 (5th Place) and in the following as a member of the Ridgefield Guild of Artists: CameraWorks (Best in Show), 36th Annual Juried Exhibition, Juried Member Show, Bedlam, the 9th Annual Festive Home and Animal Spirit. Also Stamford Art Assoc. Art Walk 2014, Small Works, Spirit of Water at the Ferguson Library of Stamford (4th Place) and in the solo show Illuminations at Ross’ Bread Bakery & Café of Ridgefield, August 2014.
Work can currently be seen at the Brookfield Craft Center and The Stamford Art Association.
