Léa Peterson is a contemporary realist and a landscape/seascape painter. She is particularly adept at conveying light and shadow, the sweep of surf, and the color and texture of coastal and mountain scenery.
Having spent many years in a stressful corporate work environment, Léa attempts to make of her art an oasis where viewers can linger and refresh. Best known for her land- and seascapes, she has expanded her coastal content to include scenes from her travel destinations: puffins nesting on Icelandic cliffs, people at work in industrial settings or at play in leisure pursuits; and rugged mountain scenes from her hikes. Finding plein-air painting exhilarating, she is inspired by the out-of-doors and makes that her primary subject matter, collecting resource material too for those winter days spent in the studio.
Léa is an Associate Member of Oil Painters of America. She has been selected by the U.S. State Department to participate in the “Art in Embassies” program, and her paintings are held in many private collections in several countries. She is represented by the Elizabeth Moss Gallery in Maine and the N.W. Barrett Gallery in New Hampshire, in addition to showing her work at the Centre St. Arts Gallery and in multiple juried shows annually.
