Visual Artist
LEE LEONARD
ARTIST'S BIO
Lee is an Abstract / Visual Artist born and raised in New York. Lee's love of art began as a child ; influenced by her Aunt who is also an artist. She would lay on her Aunts living room floor in Greenwich Village and play with glow in the dark markers and news print for hours.
Lee's love and connection to art flourished into her adulthood .
When she was asked what her paintings mean to her, she stated, ” It’s a feeling, an emotion that comes from inside that evolves onto a canvas. Each piece means something to me.... I don’t go into it with any preconceived ideas. Each piece is an event that was personal in my life. I'm hoping that the viewer can interpret what it evokes in themselves. As an abstract painter, I'm not recreating a landscape or the human form. I'm trying to create an emotion with bold markings, contrasting color, energy, and disguised or exposed writing. In this disorder I create a chaotic peace.
