Lisa Folino
I was born and raised in Southern California. my interest in photography began at an early age under the tutelage of my father Salvatore Folino, a pioneering cameraman in television. My work has been exhibited and published Internationally: Black&White magazine, Camera Arts, and The Photo Review, Antilipseis issue no 9 Athens Greece. My work is in the permanent collection of the Museum of Fine Arts Houston, the Harry Ransom Center, Austin Texas, and the Center for photography Woodstock New York.

This past August I traveled to the Arctic with Dr. Sylvia Earle, Michael AW, and sixty artists and scientists for Ocean Geographic’s Expedition: Elysium Artists for the Arctic. I was moved and inspired while documenting the Arctic and the effects of climate change on this part of the world.
I have since formed my own non-profit, Oceans in Focus.org. The power of the photographic image is limitless, and my intent is to use my photography to help inform, educate, and inspire action, focusing on the world’s oceans.
