Lee Andreason
An internationally recognized sculptor and an avid horsewoman,
Andreason is noted for her powerful bronze, cast stone and clay equine,
figurative, and mythological forms... From early childhood she has felt a
keen awareness of the interconnection between nature and humanity,
and over the years has determined that her role as an artist is to show
this through her work. She works to accomplish this by depicting the
essence of the spirit, beauty and power of each piece - portraying the
soul of each subject.
Sculpting becomes a circle connecting Andreason with the creative life
force that gives energy to all nature and that communicates with all
beings.
Incorporating her passion for horses, Andreason's creative energy and
professional focus has been dedicated to her sculpture for over thirty
years. Her equine figures frequently depict ancient, mythological and
war horses, embodying their power, grace and spirit. Lee Andreason receives
inspiration from the work of Moore, Zuniga, Marini, Picasso, and especially
Manzu. Her mask of Picasso and study of his life, as well as her sculptures
of "Monet" are results of her interest in their philosophy as artists.
In 1999, Andreason opened a studio in Spain and divides her time between
Europe and the US, making works and enlargement... in both continents.
Her work has appeared in many one person exhibitions including Paris,
Germany, Holland, Spain and the United States. Andreason has been included
in Marquis Publication of" "Who's Who in American Artists".
Exhibitions of her work are currently in various galleries in Europe as well as in major cities in the United States.
