Lisa Joy Newcomb
Artist Bio
At 65, after decades of not creating art, Lisa Joy Newcomb reinvented herself as an artist.
Ms Newcomb has been honored with one best of show, four first-place awards as well and a second place in abstract photography. She has had two one-woman shows. One through Artel Gallery, and one through the University of Delaware. The Florida Museum of Photographic Art and the Pensacola Museum of Art have included her in shows. Her work has been seen from coast to coast, including several times through the HMVC Gallery in New York and the Las LaGuna Gallery in California. Ms Newcomb’s work has been shown in public forums including the Montgomery International Airport, the Pensacola Beach Hilton, and the New York Times Square Jumbotron Billboard. At Pictorem, based out of Montreal, Canada, Lisa is a featured artist. Two books have also been presented Ms Newcomb. They are: “Nobis II, 2023,” and ”Emerald Coast Review, 2023.”
The photographs she creates are abstractions in fluidity, rich in joy and filled with color, pattern, curiosity, and a gentle message. The dance of light that for most of her life she sought in the ocean, she is now looking for in the melding of glass and fabric, with occasional surprise elements. Lisa’s work is usually printed on aluminum.
Ms Newcomb’s highest degree is a master's in social work. Professionally, she worked as a social worker and as a realtor. Lisa was a docent at the Pensacola and Montgomery Museum of Art for over 17 years. She is currently a national member of Pen Women.
