Ara Lucia is an artist and director who makes photo-fables: photographs of invented worlds that tell a story. This is her gallery. Her work and studies combine a background in choreography, theatre, book arts, photography, psychology, and more recently, theology. In November 2008, while developing her next photo-fable, Ara was deeply disturbed by the passage of Californiaʼs Proposition 8, illegalizing same-sex marriage there. As an artist, it made sense to fight back in the best way she knew how — through her work. So began We Vow. Subsequently, Ara was given the opportunity to write a featured article for the February 2011 issue of Rhode Island's Get Magazine. A modified detail of "The Kiss" from We Vow was featured on the cover as well. Ara Luciaʼs studio is located in Berrien Springs, Michigan. No matter where you are, you can follow her on Twitter. She still shows her work to her 88-year-old grandmother, who taught her about composition and aperture settings when Ara was hardly big enough to manipulate the lenses. |
