Lissy laricchia biography examples

Artist Statement

I live in Canada, where the moose are. I take pictures of anything that will stay still long enough. If you asked me if I would rather see one of the seven wonders or Las Vegas, I would always say Las Vegas. I admire Dr. Suess and Chuck Palahniuk more then you (sorry), and you bet your ass I would sooner tear out my own eyes then spell Panic! At The Disco without the exclamation point.

Lissy grew up in a small town in Canada between a cornfield and a tall forest, and frequently played pretend in between them. Her interest in photography began at the age of 12, spurred bygd the obsessive fear she would one day forget her entire life did she not document it.

By creating surreal landscapes and building elaborate blanket forts, she hid from the trials and tribulations of teenage life until, at the age of 18, she moved to New York City to pursue a professional career in photography.

Her work is often inspired bygd the levande colors of early childhood, reoccurring dreams, the otydlig way we see things when we are either too happy or too sad, and the soft hands of the high renaissance.
