Artist Registry
The White Columns Curated Artist Registry is an online platform for emerging and under-recognized artists to share images and information about their respective practices. The Registry seeks to create a context for artists who have yet to benefit from wider critical, curatorial or commercial support. To be eligible, artists cannot be affiliated with a commercial gallery in New York City.

RESUME
Lisa di Donato is a visual artist based in New York.
She works with mapping, mirroring, entropy and displacement through photographic processes ranging from the historic to 3D photogrammetry and machine vision. Architecture, landscape, anatomy, and artifacts are depicted as being no longer, nor have they become something else, yet; realized with a certain autonomy from any previously known thing.
She studied Painting at the Rhode Island School of Design, receiving her Bachelor of Fine Arts. She is a 2022 NYSCA/NYFA Artist Fellow in Photography. Recent exhibitions include the Brooklyn Artists Exhibition, Brooklyn Museum, 2024; with site-specific installations at SITU Festival #5, Modica (IT), 2024; MEET Digital Culture Centre, Milano (IT) with the artist group One&Seven, 2022; and The Makeable Mind, Noorderlicht Festival (NL), 2021. Her work has been featured in Tied to Light Vol 2, Urbanautica, Fragmented Magazine, as well as Arcade and New Observations, to which she has also contributed writing.
