Leesa Price has always been interested in art and art history and has studied both fine arts and graphic design. Leesa has worked in the museum/heritage environment and as a graphic designer in the communications departments of several large corporations. Having experience working in acrylics, egg tempera and gauche, while working in the corporate world of graphics Leesa decided to study watercolours. She fell in love with the medium and chose to make it her focus.
“I enjoy the spontaneity and transparency of the medium, plus the unpredictable results watercolours offers. Relinquishing absolute control of the medium has forced my work to become more free and expressive and this has led to a more personalized use of colour and subject matter. I have tried to make the subject matter of my paintings more interesting by using unusual colour schemes, strong shadow elements and unusual points of view. I am now pushing myself to become even looser and to let the medium control the final outcome of the piece.”
Leesa has exhibited in many locations in the GTA area including juried shows, group shows and solo exhibitions. She is currently a member of the Purple Studio Painters in Mississauga.
