About Lezlee

I am an impressionist painter, wife, mother of two, and color-obsessed creative based in Orlando, Florida. I paint landscapes, florals, and everyday objects in acrylic, during afternoon nap times, with dreams of plein air and travel painting in my future. My love of color means carefully crafting palettes filled with hues intent on capturing a sense of harmony, light, and emotion.

An artist since the age of four, I earned my Bachelor’s Degree in Illustration from Winthrop University. My years in corporate graphic design refined my understanding of composition and visual balance, while a lifelong passion for art and home decor cultivated my deep obsession with color. Each chapter of my creative career has shaped the artist that I am today.

After the birth of our second son in 2023, I was deep in the overwhelm of early motherhood. While busy rocking our baby in his nursery, I focused on the art hanging next to his crib - a painting from my college years. I realized that acrylics were the medium that first made me feel most alive and I felt the undeniable pull to return to myself creatively. It was then that I decided to redefine my artistic path, choosing not to reinvent myself, but to fully embrace what had always been true: I am a painter.

Whether working outdoors or within the small, sacred windows of nap-time studio sessions, my current body of work reflects that clarity. Guided by Impressionist traditions and a growing dedication to plein air practice, my paintings explore the playfulness of light, brushstrokes, and carefully orchestrated color. I aim to create work that feels both timeless and intimately personal, paintings that draw the eye, evoke memory, and bring lasting beauty and joy into the spaces they inhabit.
