Lisa Carter photographed neighborhood children
and used them as models for this typical street
scene. The children, trucks, and cars are painted
as though they are moving toward the viewer, straight
out of the mural.
There is a bit of magic in this otherwise realistic painting. Through the window
of the building on the right hand side the neighborhood
children are watching the balloon parade at the
Cambridge River Festival, an annual event sponsored
by the Cambridge Arts Council. A festival banner
floats above.
A Boston resident, Carter studied at the Massachusetts
College of Art, the School of the Museum of Fine
Arts, Boston and Antioch College, Yellow Springs,
Ohio. She has taught at various institutions,
including the Rhode Island School of Design, the
Art Institute of Boston and the School of the
Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. Carter has participated
in many exhibitions of her work and has executed
numerous mural commissions including work for
the Boston MBTA Subway system, the Metropolitan
District Commission, and Massport.
