Let Lisa Gizara make you a Holiday Card featuring your pet!
Lisa Gizara

Trends in holiday gifts this year include personalized mementos. What better gift to give or receive than a photo of your best friend, the one who gives you unconditional love? Pampered Pooches will want to have their picture taken for their owner or for this year’s Holiday Card by fine artist Lisa Gizara. And those living in LA are in luck because this published photographer lives here. Educated at UMASS in South Dartmouth, she has been a successful freelance photographer for more than 25 years. Her photographs have been published internationally on billboards and in numerous publications including People Magazine, Variety, La Weekly, LA Times Magazine, Wired, and many others. Famed Rock and Roll photographer Guy Webster describes her work by saying “Lisa Gizara does not take pictures of dogs, she reveals portraits of beautiful beings.” Lisa’s portraits are perfect for any occasion. To see what I’m taking about, visit  www.furryfacesfotos.com and www.GizaraArts.com. Gizara’s fine art photography is already in numerous private collections and she has been awarded two grants from the Massachusetts Arts Council to document the small town she grew up in- Westford, Massachusetts. Her camera has led her on travels around the world including Indonesia, France, Mexico, Alaska, Hawaii, and California and throughout the United States. Her most recent attempt at a trans-Pacific crossing aboard a 48’ Ketch is another photographic essay in the making. Lisa has also taught Abstract Expressionist painting to youths incarcerated in the Los Angeles juvenile prison system. She has been a private tutor to gifted children intent on attending prestigious art schools including The Otis Parsons School. Lisa’s paintings and photographs have appeared in film and television including Californication, House, Brothers & Sisters, Fringe & Warehouse 13. Her photographs of Zac Sunderland, the 16-year-old that sailed alone around the world have been published in magazines & newspapers in eight countries and appeared on television and international documentaries.  She is now photographing 15-year-old Abby Sunderland as she readies for her solo, non-stop, record breaking sail around the world. Lisa presently lives in Santa Monica, CA  with the love of her life Eric Lorn and three four legged, furry faced family members.
