Lisa Gibalerio: A Study in Portraits
Exhibit Dates:

Artist Statement:
Shortly before my third birthday, my mother became gravely ill with Lupus, a chronic and debilitating illness. It follows that the most central figure in my world was a person whose health was constantly vulnerable. I grasped early on a sense of how fleeting life is.
When I was 12, I received my first camera as a Christmas gift. Then as now, taking pictures was about preserving memories and freezing images.
