Lisa-Anne Rego Bermudian, born 1971


artist statement
I want to capture the vibrancy of bermuda's light; reality glorified upon figures, buildings and cumulus skies. I enjoy the chiaroscuro of Nature found in my native island; light and shade help to create the illusion of solidity and recession. I have returned to my first home to track diwn the vast array of visual beauty here on the island and to be closer to my family. It's great to be back!
