Lisa Creagh

I am a long time experimenter in the boundaries between photography and painting. After years of creating collage by hand, I discovered Adobe Photoshop in 1994 and never looked back. An early experimenter in the capabilities of digital print, I have ten years production know-how from working in photographic laboratories. After developing a digital art course for Goldsmiths students in 1997 I moved to New York and taught myself analogue printing whilst making photorealistic paintings of digital compositions. When the Lightjet printer was announced I crossed over into exclusively digital output and I have been interested in staying at the cutting edge of digital photographic capability, producing the largest photographic prints whilst experimenting always with new materials. Returning to settle in Brighton in 2001, I started a photography Masters at Brighton University, discovered the Mamiya camera and began combining drawing with still life photography. Now represented by galleries in the U.S. and Europe, I am steadily building a career creating photography, writing and mentoring other with just a steady commitment, compassion, and a high-end Apple Mac. I have exhibited widely including solo shows at the The Little Black Gallery and Diemar Noble Gallery in London, Lucy Bell Gallery in St. Leonard's on Sea and current solo show at The Art Movement in London. as well as regular participation in groups shows at The Project Room in Chicago. My work is held in a number of private collections. My photographs have been featured in publications including The British Journal of Photography, Source Magazine, 8 Magazine, Hungry Eye, Time Out and The Telegraph. Brighton
