“I have lived and painted in New Mexico since 1985, working outdoors under a wide variety of conditions, open to the impulse of changing light, wind, heat, cold, insects, forces of Nature which bring life into my paintings. For me, painting is a dance to the tempo of the evolving day. Usually, I paint off the back of a pick-up truck, which gives me access to many wonderful places, and provides a way to stabilize and transport large canvases. Here in the West it seems that the canvas is never big enough. To include my entire field of vision at arm's length, 60 x 90 inches is about right. I paint with knives and masonry trowels, which allow me to work fast. Each painting is completed in less than 4 hours, regardless of size, as permitted by weather and light. Painting large canvases outdoors invites another interaction with Nature as, inevitably, insects, particles of plants and soil end up on the painting.
I see these as valuable contributions to the work. Sometimes I put little stones, bones or pieces of glass and plants into the paint, in the same spirit as the Navajo weaver who incorporates things into her blanket to bless those who will receive it, and as a way of acknowledging the temporality of things. My process is an inquiry into sensuous potential of paint. To explore the mystery of sensation, to touch that which is known but cannot be measured, understood yet indescribable; the act of painting is an expression of my connectedness with God and Nature. I am Nature.”

I make pictures of a lot of different things. Sometimes I paint seascapes, sometimes landscapes or street scenes. Occasionally, I set figures in interiors or other architectural spaces. Some of these pictures are taken from things I saw directly. Others are conjured from memory, or from an accumulated compendium of internalized views.
But whether literally representational or imagined, I mean for all of my pictures to invite the viewer in with a sense of the familiar, while yet distilling some essential character of the subject that may feel surprising or even a bit odd. I find that I can achieve this by stripping out a great deal of extraneous detail in order to get to the boiled-down, or even abstract heart of a picture.
Beyond all those formal concerns and matters of content, what interests me most is paint itself: how it lies, stands or races across the surface of the canvas. I've said to a couple of friends recently that "I want to make de Koonings and hide them inside of Homers". Not that I mean to imitate either of those artists — I just like to conceal the physically powerful wolf of abstraction within the sheep's clothing of a more seemingly conventional realism. You feel that you know it, or have seen it before a thousand times. But then you spend some time with it and realize that you don't know it at all.
A kind of deliberate brusqueness is the crucial agent of my mark-making, which is intentionally raw and roughly drawn. I have lost any interest in carefully rendering the minutia of fine detail, if indeed I ever had it to begin with. Large descriptive shapes, made with a loaded brush and moved by the whole arm, are what I'm after. The sense of atmosphere and emotion that those big gestures can convey is what I live for.

I've said to a couple of friends recently that "I want to make de Koonings and hide them inside of Homers". Not that I mean to imitate either of those artists — I just like to conceal the physically powerful wolf of abstraction within the sheep's clothing of a more seemingly conventional realism. You feel that you know it, or have seen it before a thousand times. But then you spend some time with it and realize that you don't know it at all.
A kind of deliberate brusqueness is the crucial agent of my mark-making, which is intentionally raw and roughly drawn. I have lost any interest in carefully rendering the minutia of fine detail, if indeed I ever had it to begin with. Large descriptive shapes, made with a loaded brush and moved by the whole arm, are what I'm after. The sense of atmosphere and emotion that those big gestures can convey is what I live for.

Lee Price
American Contemporary Figurative Realist painter Lee Price focuses on the subject of food with the solitary female figure in private, intimate settings — figures that are always lost in what might appear to be the bliss of consumption in highly unusual environments and portrayed from a unique aerial point of view. This odd perspective creates an illusion or feeling of an out of body experience as if the subject is looking down at herself. While clearly demonstrating her amazing technical skills, the circumstance of consistently depicting female figures in the act of compulsive behavior tends to hint at an underlying message.
Lee Price grew up in a small town in upstate New York, her mother was a high school art teacher, and her father left home when she and her two sisters were very young. As a result, Lee was raised in a household of women. She suspects that this may have had some impact on her work. As a Graduate of Moore College of Art of Philadelphia, Lee Price proved her amazing talent for painting. Early in her career Lee established a pattern of painting intimate moments of a woman’s life with a very realistic tone. Continuing her artistic development, she studied with the Bo Bartlett Art Students League, and had several years of private studies with Alyssa Monks through the New York Academy of Art. She relocated to California for eleven years, but has since returned to her home state, where she resides to this date.
