LEESA LE MAY

Leesa is a contemporary artist and printmaker based in Montignac de Lauzun. Leesa teaches painting holidays in her large grange studio where she also oversees a petit atelier for her own work in the picturesque Lot & Garonne, France.

Drawing and sketchbooks play an important role in creating Leesa’s compositions which can range from figurative and landscape to urban contemporary lino cuts, etches, acrylic paintings and ink work.

Before coming to France Leesa taught in local schools, colleges and artist groups from Lindfield Art Studio in West Sussex, England. Leesa  is the co-founder of the Lindfield Arts Festival. Leesa’s work has been shortlisted for the Royal Academy and she regularly exhibits at galleries and private expositions.
