One through HMVC Gallery New York, one through Artel Gallery in Pensacola FL and one through the University of Delaware. 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 work has been seen in public arenas including; New York’s Times Square electronic billboards, Montgomery International Airport, the Regions Bank Corporate Gallery in Montgomery Alabama, the Sanger Theater in Pensacola Florida and the Hilton Pensacola Beach, Florida. Three books have also presented Ms Newcomb. They are; “Nobis II, 2023.” and the “Emerald Coast Review,” 2023, and 2025. “Emerald Coast Review 2025,” uses Ms Newcomb’s photograph as their cover image.
The photographs she create 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 masters in social work. Professionally she worked as a social worker and as a realtor. She was raised in the Mid Atlantic, experienced her young adulthood in New England and the Mid West and for the last 30 years the Deep South has been home with her husband. It was in the Deep South she raised an interesting, dynamic, kind hearted daughter. Lisa was a docent sequentially at the Pensacola Museum of Art and Montgomery Museum of Art for over 17 years. She is currently a national member of Pen Women.
