About Lee PIERCE

"I'm an Artist, baby-boomer --- born under the Sign of Aquarius. For two decades, I worked in TELEVISION as a Film Editor, Producer, and show Host. When I left TV in the early 1990's, a chapter of 'The National Association of Television Arts & Sciences' awarded an "Honor" to me for my role as Film EDITOR of a PBS TV News Special Report --- which won an EMMY AWARD. My experience in Television (working with film and video images) finds its way into my abstract paintings. The skills I used as a Film Editor carry over into my work as an Artist." STYLE --- Abstract and Abstract Expressionism; MEDIUM --- acrylics, on canvas and heavy-weight papers; SUBJECT MATTER includes ORGANIC forms found in Earth's natural environments; images of the visible UNIVERSE; and Impressionist interpretations of MOUNTAIN landscapes.
