Artist Statement and Bio

My inspiration evolves naturally from my surroundings.  The beauty and discord found in the simplicity of every day life, people and events compose a palette from which I create my images. A single moment captured, frozen in time, stirs my innate creative process. "Art is the freedom to draw your own conclusions.”  I strive to draw the viewer in,  engaging them in the decisive moment of the captured image.  My photographic eye is my looking glass into the world.

Mia Wisnoski is a photographer who spends much of her time on the East End of Long Island and traveling the world capturing the images of her surroundings; always searching for that quintessential moment.  Landscape photography is Mia's specialty.  She creates images using black & white and infrared film and digital prints.  Hand painting some of her images has been a natural progression.  Her keen eye for color and strong sense of imagery makes hand painting a perfect match for her photographic talents. Develping her own unique style and skill,  Mia has ventured into Abstarct photography.  Using her cache of traditional images, she transforms them into abstract works of art.
