Lee Leonard

The complications of life lurk beneath the surface. The deeper layers are my inspiration.
My aim is to have the viewer question and explore those hidden spaces, engaging past the surface, revealing the beauty within.

As an abstract painter, I’m not recreating a landscape or the human form. I’m trying to convey an emotion with bold markings, contrasting color, energy and disguised or exposed writing. In this disorder I create a chaotic peace.


My work is held in private collections in Greece, Italy, Singapore and throughout the United States.

"Keeper of My Light" is an Acrylic Works winner to be featured in a special edition magazine of "ARTWORKS MAGAZINE" Aug. 2020
