For local photographer Dr Lisa Anderson, this dream became a reality.

Anderson's reflective photographs of Norway's landscapes featured on Time Square billboards in July and are set to reappear next year.

"This was a tester to see how it would work next year," she said.

"People stopped and said they saw it as the "greening of Times Square".

Anderson said the abstract piece was part of her photographic series entitled Reflections that looked into the deeper meaning of reflections.

The photographs were developed from her time spent in Norway, Iceland and the Hebrides with the work on display in Times Square taken from the centre of a Norwegian lake.

"I was on a boat because water has the best reflection and this water was thick and that's why the boat sat still," she said.

The photo appeared across multiple buildings in Times Square on July 27 with people stopping to admire its beauty.

"People said they made the buildings look like landscapes themselves."

Her work is set to reappear in Time Square next year.

She is now back in Ballarat with another project underway.

Dr Anderson was the first artist to successfully project art onto the Sydney Opera House and now she is hoping to teach other local artist the knack to the art form.

To the untrained eye, projection onto a building seems rather straight forward. But Dr Anderson said the reality is, it's not.

And for this reason, Dr Anderson is hoping to make building art in Ballarat as popular as it is in some of the world's biggest capital cities.

With the Town Hall in mind, a group of 20 artists have taken part in a workshop with Anderson to perfect the art of image projection.

"It's about teaching people to split up the image and learn to see the image as parts to make a whole," she said.

Dr Anderson said she hopes they will be able to get an image projected on Town Hall in the next coming months.
