In Which The Medium And Milieu Combine For A Spectacular Message
SARATOGA SPRINGS – There are many facets of Lisa Miller’s photography to take note of and admire.
For instance - event photography. That is her work the Luzerne Music Center’s Red &Gold Gala in this week's issue. She is also a well-regarded fashion, wedding and newborn photographer.
But there is a particular offshoot of the concept of “newborn” photography that is Lisa Miller’s most striking specialty, and it says here that this aspect of her repertoire is poised to take this equine-loving market by storm.
Behold The Foal Project. Simply put, these are magnificent moments magnificently displayed.
Ms. Miller describes her project; a labor of love as:
“…Images that capture the moment of connection between a mare and her foal at birth. I feel it’s the same type of connection that occurs between a human and a therapy horse.” Lisa continues, “I want everyone to feel this connection and to understand how these magnificent creatures are making such a positive impact and difference in the lives of so many.” She said.
The Foal Project is a traveling gallery show to raise awareness and funding for equine assisted therapies.
The proceeds – 100 percent – all of it – from the sale of Lisa’s signed limited edition prints on metal go to the Foal Project Donor Advised Fund at Adirondack Trust’s Community Foundation, which then distributes the funds to qualified equine assisted therapy centers.
The presentation itself adds to the impact. Large photographs of mare and foal laid out on metal make them perfect for all weather display. Like on your front porch. “This used to be a big thing in Saratoga Springs, from what I understand – displaying artwork outside.” Lisa noted. “
Do yourself a favor and see them during racing season. Several of Lisa’s Foal Project’s pieces are currently displayed around the porch of Circular Manor, at 120 Circular Street (corner of Caroline Street) until the end of the race meet.
“Dieter and I are thrilled and delighted to be showcasing some of Lisa Miller's beautiful work from The Foal Project,” said Innkeeper Michele Funiciello. “It’s truly an honor to have such lovely images gracing the walls of our porch and we welcome people to come, be inspired and learn more about this worthy cause!”
