LISA EDELSTEIN developed her art practice during the Covid pandemic by creating her own coloring book based on old family photos. Beginning with magic markers she soon shifted to watercolors and finally to oil. The old photos conjured a time when pictures were spontaneous and captured something more authentic than today's composed, overly considered photographs. Working as an actress for most of her adult life, she found that images with personal narratives and caught moments were the most resonant.  Edelstein's practice is contemplative and reflective, intimate, personal and extremely rigorous.
