“Each time I make an image, I bring forth something of beauty and center its vitality in counterpoint to the often-felt darkness. My photography is much more than just sharing a pretty picture, I am constantly in pursuit of fashioning hope.”
Lisa Mossel is a lens-based artist who grew up in Chadds Ford, PA, a suburb of Philadelphia. particular focus on botanical subjects, her practice of looking closely with her macro lens highlights the idea that centering awe and wonder in nature has benefits for our physical, energetic, and emotional bodies. Vitality and hope are recurrent themes.
Mossel has shown work in over 60 exhibitions throughout New England including the Griffin Museum, Cove Street Arts, Maine Museum of Photographic Arts, PhotoPlace Gallery, Maine Art Gallery, Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens, Harlow Gallery, North Light Gallery, and Blum Gallery. Featured publications include the Maine Arts Journal, Island Journal, and Down East Magazine.
Mossel lives in Appleton in an old center-chimney cape.
Images are made outdoors in natural lighting, and made “in-camera” with miniscule post-processing. Shown here are archival pigment prints on Hahnemuhle fine art paper, matted with archival materials either singularly or in shadowboxes with two images. There are also dye-sublimation prints on metal.

Thank you for looking!

I have been creating this wall installation since 2010. Its title is Library and it currently consists of eleven panels and is made up of many (over 150 at this point) individual book-like boxes that house artifacts, curiosities, my own art and other small constructions. I am drawn to the stained and abused surfaces of old and discarded objects, the stuff of previous lives and times and the rustier, the more ancient looking the better. Each individual piece is constructed by hand.
