Tanya Hayes Lee is a visual artist who works primarily in oil
in a modern abstract-impressionist style. Her paintings convey
the sublime in nature and are visual metaphors for our
relationships to the world and to each other.
Tanya’s greatest inspirations include the nineteenth-century
masters George Inness, J.M.W. Turner, and John Constable,
twentieth-century icons Helen Frankenthaler, Louise Nevelson,
and Alice Neel, and contemporary artists Douglas Fryer and
Charlie Hunter.
She studied studio art at the Mass. College of Art, Scottsdale
Artist School, and Northern Arizona University.
Tanya on painting and on her paintings
Color is the element that is unique to the visual realm, and painting
is the medium I’ve chosen to integrate color into my world. In my paintings,
color provides structure, form, meaning, and the fundamental and exquisite
ordering of the world in its own terms. The vibrancy and depth of oils is
unparalleled in the history of Western art, and fortunately it is a medium
now easily accessible to anyone with the compulsion to depict the world
as it exists in our four dimensions – and an ample supply of turpentine.
