About Liesl Walsh

I am a fine art photographer in Venice, Florida with a background in art education. In college I majored in art education, receiving a Bachelor of Arts degree, and taught elementary art in Pennsylvania for nine years. After moving to Florida I focused on photography, being mentored by renowned French photographer Serge Ramelli and working with him as an ambassador in his academy, assisting him in teaching photography online, and filling in for him doing live videos. l am a graduate of his PhotoSerge Institute of Photography with a Masters of Photography. Serge's training has been a huge influence on my artistry and my career. I am also a KelbyOne Instructor, teaching photography online to thousands of students worldwide, and have appeared as a special guest on their podcast The Grid. My work has sold in a gallery in downtown Venice, Florida and sells regularly locally and around the world as a best-seller on Fine Art America.

Art and photography have always been my passion. Drawing, painting, and colors excite me.

My portfolio includes landscapes and architecture in Florida, Michigan, Europe. I enhance light, shadows, and color when editing to create powerful, dramatic, and peaceful images. Serenity and those "magic moments" that touch deep into the soul... my images show the world as a beautiful place to live and a wonderful place to explore.

My favorite things to capture are historical and tropical places, pink flamingos, trees, coastlines, and old buildings with charm. I like to give my photos a painterly look while others I'll give dramatic, bold lighting.

Award-Winning Artist

My photos have received many awards locally and internationally.

I have had award-winning photos displayed at the King Center Gallery at Brevard College and at the Vero Beach Museum of Art.

In 2021 my photo, "The Most Amazing Sunset at the Pier in Venice, Florida" won a billboard contest on Fine Art America, placing in the top 20 photos of 24,341 images and 9226 artists worldwide. The photo hung on a billboard on I-4 near Orlando in November 2021. I won the contest a second year in a row in September 2022. My photo, "Liquid Light" of the Venice Fishing Pier placed in the top 20 images of 17,456 images and 6652 artists worldwide. It hung on a billboard in Clearwater, Florida for November and December 2022.

Exhibited with Roy Lichtenstein

In 2021 three of my Giverny photos were printed 20 feet long on vinyl for the Roy Lichtenstein art exhibit "Monet's Garden Goes Pop!" at Marie Selby Botanical Gardens in Sarasota, Florida. One image hung on french doors at the entrance of the exhibit, and two other images were used as backdrops to 3D displays of Monet's home and Japanese bridge in the conservatory. Roy Lichtenstein is a famous pop artist from the 1960's who made a series of images about Claude Monet's garden. The exhibit hung for 4.5 months.
