a spirit of inquiry                   Lezlie Jane

Painting gives me a remarkable, exhilarating amount of freedom. I am fascinated by the open-ended interpretation abstraction offers. It is a window to obscured images and thoughts. I paint to unveil a surprise, an a-ha moment or a long forgotten impression. Viewers are invited to consider what the art may reveal to them. Making art serves as a way to determine my place in the world and provide me with inspiration and satisfaction. Transformation, at the heart of my work and life, fuels my persistence as an artist.
