Tamera Lee

Visual Art – Austin

Pulsating, vibrating and alive with color and soul, the work of American painter Tamera Lee starts first and foremost with music. From there, she builds her frame and stretches her canvases in order to paint, letting the music organically breathe into the work with natural, gradual ease. Energized by and immersed in the harmonies and melodies of music, the artist imbues this poetry into her expressive, lyrical paintings. Animated in color and texture, Lee’s paintings are releases of her own vivacious energy into the viewer’s orbit, a connection of vigor and passion that allows us to activate our own dynamism and vitality. “Art, to me, is about the individual process, and what that process means to the artist,” she explains. “It’s the release. The depth we take ourselves to. The truths we face and reveal to ourselves.” Using biomorphic, almost surrealistic forms, Lee takes us deep inside her psyche in order to bring us closer to our own. Tamera Lee lives and works just outside Austin, Texas. She has exhibited her works throughout the American West.
