ABOUT THE ARTWORK

In 2005 I went to Paris for the third time to study paintings at the Louve and the Musee d' Orsay; especially the works of the French Impressionists including Claude Monet. I found I could sit for hours looking at the color and brushwork in his paintings and dream of returning to paint someday at Giverny when the flowers are in bloom. This painting is of the Broad River in Columbia, South Carolina on the part of the river where is is flat and rowers launch their boats. This painting has been in my personal collection and I am offering it to the public for purchase.

Contemporary American Painter Alicia Leeke, a native South Carolinian, started her artistic studies at Columbia College. During her sophomore year she vacationed in Paris and visited the Louvre, where she fell in love with the French Impressionists. She also visited her most inspiring spot in France, Montmartre. Her travels to paint landscapes during plein-air painting sessions led her to produce a body of beautiful abstract paintings inspired by nature’s ever-changing scenery. More recently, she is inspired by photographers Susan Kae Grant of Texas and John E. Powell of Columbia, SC to produce a body of work combining conceptual art, photography and digital mixed media. Leeke compares a series of art in a body of work to that of multiple product lines in sales. This means she has a paintings produced in a series over time including: abstract textural landscapes, impressionistic landscapes, French cityscapes, digital mixed media cityscapes, vibrant abstracts and an abstract body of work based on phytoplankton. Leeke was awarded a grant by the Charleston Scientific and Cultural Education Fund to produce a traveling exhibition in 2016 entitled: View from Under the Microscope: Science-based Learning Through Art. The exhibition educates the non-scientific community about the importance Phytoplankton play in our life and why we need to be good stewards of our water bodies.
