Melissa Lea is an American artist recognized for her expressive abstract paintings.

Intuition leads her artistic decisions, as she manipulates layers of mixed media, color, line and form to create space, motion, and emotion.

Quite often Melissa’s original paintings have identifiable objects, such as floral bouquets, figures, or landscapes; and relatable subjects of joy, love, life, family, whimsy, common bonds of humanity.

“I’m an abstract thinker and an expressive painter.
I don’t paint flowers, I paint flower shapes.”

Moments of self-reflection, experiences of life, and love for neighbor are conveyed through her use of strokes, imagery, media and substrate. She intends to cause pause, curiosity, connection, and levity of spirit. mls
