Message from ZhooLeeEt
I am a figurative/abstract painter living in Belton, Texas. My art career began in the Peace Corps in Latin America as I spent many years living abroad and working as an artist and educator. I exhibited in Brazil and in Spain and for most of my art career, in Texas. For me, a colorful palette is the beginning.
The imagery which is present in my work includes geometric and architectural forms, human contours, animals forms, figurative shadows and vessels, Much of the imagery comes from my everyday life, whether it be sensations which dictate my artistic direction or actual surroundings that envelop my world. I often paint the female form often to represent myself in the struggle and duality of my own grounded-ness vs. vulnerability.
I have a Masters in Art Education from Texas Tech University; as art educator and high school guidance counselor, my students benefit from art therapy activities to promote self-reliance and healing. Art is healing. Self-expression is the essence of self-actualization.
