A painting major at the University
of Michigan, Ms. Lehman studied drawing and lithography with
David Ben Shaul in Jerusalem. She has been an art teacher and
has exhibited in New York City, Mississippi, Michigan, Florida,
Mexico, Israel and locally.
A graduate of and teacher at the Barbara Brennan
School of Healing, she is an energy therapist with a healing practice in
Warwick, NY. It was the confluence of the energy work and her art work that made
her realized that "I am painting energy. It is not light as is the subject of
the impressionists but energy as the means and the subject. The painting is the
result of the combined energy of the media, the subject and my energetic
response. It is the play of the moment."
Reviews:
Lehman's works
marked by exuberant color and whimsical use of line capture both the grandeur of
the American landscape and the intimacy of personal rediscovery. The paintings
are the colorful results of the interaction between the energy and beauty of the
land and the energy and vision of the artist.
From article on
Visions Across America exhibit
The new exhibit at the Art League of Daytona Beach could hardly
be better….Her sunny paintings are exuberant, engagingly naïve
in their loose brushwork and vivid tones. Swaying trees…are a
dazzling jumble of red and blue slashes. Color and form
reinforce one another to express not so much a place as its
spirituality….Ms. Lehman's is impressionism gone wild, under the
influence of the energy of places she's visited. Her series
tracks a visionary odyssey that began in 1993 and is still under
way.
