Lee Herring

An unorthodox painting technique allows styles to merge and implode on the canvas, pushing past the traditional confinements.

Each scrape, splash and stroke adapting the ghost of impressionism; haunting abstraction’s footprint.

Mixing fresh, vibrant pastes allows the canvas to become an ever-evolving palette. Visual experiments depict the raw, untamed, beauty of nature in all its bloom.
