When Lisa Holloway is not busy tending to her super-sized family of 12, she creates magical, fine art portraits of children, including 10 of her own. Using the golden light and majestic landscapes of rural Northwestern Arizona as her backdrop, she paints soul-seeking, ethereal images with her camera.
Lisa first became interested in photography as a means to better document the lives of her own children. An artistic person by nature, photography was a natural extension of a lifelong passion. Her work is inspired by her family, the beauty, colors, and textures in the natural world around her, and the glorious natural light that is so abundant in Arizona. Lisa’s work has received multiple awards and has been published worldwide, both online and in print.
