American Contemporary Figurative Realist painter Lee Price focuses on the subject of food with the solitary female figure in private, intimate settings — figures that are always lost in what might appear to be the bliss of consumption in highly unusual environments and portrayed from a unique aerial point of view. This odd perspective creates an illusion or feeling of an out of body experience as if the subject is looking down at herself. While clearly demonstrating her amazing technical skills, the circumstance of consistently depicting female figures in the act of compulsive behavior tends to hint at an underlying message.

Lee Price grew up in a small town in upstate New York. Her mother was a high school art teacher, and her father left home when she and her two sisters were very young. As a result, Lee was raised in a household of women. She suspects that this may have had some impact on her work. As a Graduate of Moore College of Art of Philadelphia, Lee Price proved her amazing talent for painting. Early in her career Lee established a pattern of painting intimate moments of a woman’s life with a very realistic tone. Continuing her artistic development, she studied with the Bo Bartlett Art Students League, and had several years of private studies with Alyssa Monks through the New York Academy of Art. She relocated to California for eleven years, but has since returned to her home state, where she resides to this date. More on Lee Price
