Lisa Nebenzahl is an interdisciplinary artist and photographer who creates work that explores fragility, resilience, loss, persistence and the passage of time.

“Lisa manages a very delicate balance: sourcing her own experiences with illness and death, then translating them and presenting them in art works on paper. Lisa speaks eloquently about how her perceptions of the changing appearances of plants, clouds, and water inspire her in both their resilience and their eventual disappearances. Rather than presenting overly personal accounts, she successfully transforms her reflections on transience and loss, expressing these through composed images and shapes drawn from nature. The objects are beautiful, memorable, and monumental; they re-define and combine landscape and still-life, as Lisa herself indicates. Parallel to the genre of the graphic novel, her highly original works could be called (photo) graphic sculptures. Seemingly mobile, some free-standing, they are notably engaging and beg to be handled when one views them because they seem so tactile. Lisa’s exquisite and strong work show her accomplished focus.” - Marcia Reed, Former Chief Curator and Associate Director for Special Collections at the Getty Research Institute
