Lisa Golightly's artwork is rooted in the act of preserving memory, offering a contemporary lens on moments from the past. Inspired by vintage photographs and anonymous family snapshots, Golightly transforms forgotten moments into evocative paintings that feel at once distant and deeply familiar.

She works with acrylic and high gloss enamel. Her signature brushwork—expressive and textured—is paired with high-gloss enamel on aluminum, giving her pieces a polished, almost photographic sheen. Using a pared-down color palette and simplified forms, she captures the essence of memory: hazy, fragmented, and profoundly human.

Golightly’s paintings invite you to reflect on your own past, blurring the line between someone else’s history and your own. They speak to the beauty and fragility of recollection in an age overwhelmed by digital images.

Lisa Golightly holds a BFA in Studio Art from the University of Arizona. Her work has been featured in exhibitions across the United States, gaining recognition in publications such as American Art CollectorLuxe MagazineHuffington PostColorado Homes & Lifestyles, and The Wall Street Journal’s Art Guide, among others. She currently lives and works in Portland, Oregon.
