Lea Elleseff is a visual artist who lives and works in Freeville, NY. Currently, she is working on a series of paintings that capture the landscapes she encounters every day around her home. The question embodied in each work: what is it that makes this place so beautiful?
When she’s not immersed in a landscape, Lea cycles through multiple tangents and various mediums including: painting on used clothing, place-sourced art, and straight-forward projects aimed at honing her observational drawing skills. Lea also homeschools her two children, maintains an eclectic garden and makes time to build community.
