Lisa Kristine Gallery: Inspiring Unity Through Imagery
I first met Lisa Kristine at Archbishop Desmond Tutu’s 85th birthday celebration in Cape Town, South Africa. I knew she was a global humanitarian photographer but honestly did not fully understand her impact. During my last visit to the bay area in California, my friend took me to visit Lisa’s gallery in Sonoma and we were both impressed.

The following weekend, I watched the film “Sold” which has a character inspired by Lisa Kristine. I hope to see one of her exhibitions in Chicago and look forward to returning to the gallery when in Sonoma. Thank you Lisa Kristine for the work that you do to make this world a...
