Liza Saenz

Artist's Statement

Liza became inspired with photography in 1967 at Santa Monica High School. After a long hiatus from the camera she returned to the art, enrolling at College of the Redwood, where she developed her own individuality and imagination.

She now has her own studio/gallery, and darkroom in Mendocino, Northern Calilfornia. Her work consists more of self expression through landscapes, nudes, avant garde and other techniques, such as sepia and blue prints.
