Artist Statement

I invite you to come with me on a journey...

A beautiful lifelong exploration of so very many positive people, places and things that I have encountered along my way. Each photo was taken in that quick moment of time when I was in awe and knew I never wanted to forget this light, at this place, in this time. These are moments of inspiration, seen through my blue eyes, that fill my soul and make me feel happy.

My wish is that they will fill your soul too ~ like those cloudless days filled with Royal Blue Skies where your heart lifts, your spirit sores and you can taste that promise is in the air. I hope you will enjoy the journey and find a few of these moments to hang in your home or your office or to give as a gift to brighten any gray day that comes in the way.

Please contact me with any questions at lisa@lisakiene.com.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Until we meet again, may all your days be filled with Royal Blue Skies ...

~ Lisa Kiene
