about ARICA LIPP
Arica Lipp is a multi-award-winning portrait and dance photographer based in Montana. Her work reflects her education in fine art as well as dance.
When she picks up her camera she is creating art as well as capturing moments. She has now become a passionate speaker and educator who encourages photographers to be true to their inner genius and value their talents.
"Some choose this as an outlet for their creativity and expression while others make this their career. For me it is has been both. I’ve learned that with a conscious effort to balance them, you don’t have to sacrifice one for the other."
She recently won the Pro Prints Invitational and that experience reminded her that there’s always more art within you waiting to be brought into the world. So she says to “be brave and just give them the opportunity to exist."
