My most recent digital graphic art commission was an amazing project of art from the heart! I say this for my client and myself.

It's not that often that someone shares their most intimate details of their loved one with a stranger.  I was trusted in this way with this art commission.

I created this "after" piece (on the right) for a client whose mother had passed away when she was 11 years old. She wanted something special to represent her Mom other than the old photograph she had. Her mother was in a wheelchair most of her life before passing.  I'm proud to have delivered this special commission to the client as a 20" X 30" mounted print. She has framed and hung it in her home and she's delighted!

Is there someone or something you'd like to commission? Digital art may provide you with affordable and creative options versus private commissions from traditional artists. This client had an artist whose Impressionistic work she liked.  The trouble was that the artist was no longer taking commissions. So, together, she and I rendered the style, look, colors, and final art led by what this client imagined of her mother. 

As an artist, that's absolutely exciting for me knowing she is beyond happy with the final work!

This client and I are both working on a non-profit committee for a one hundred year old charity in Dallas.  From an art standpoint, we met by chance through our individual introductions through this Woman's Club.  I hope this heartfelt artwork story reaches you.  I say this especially if you have someone or something you'd liked to create with digital graphic design from the heart!

Message me for more details. I look forward to how I may be able to create with you!

Is Worth 17 Amazons!

Women Painting Women is a thematic exhibition featuring 46 female artists who choose women as subject matter in their works. If you haven't seen this at Fort Worth's Modern Art Museum you are missing a treat!

This presentation includes approximately 50 evocative portraits that span the late 1960s to the present. International in scope, Women Painting Women recognizes female perspectives that have been underrepresented in the history of postwar figuration. Painting is the focus of the exhibition, as traditionally it has been a privileged medium for portraiture, particularly for white male artists.

The Exhibit only runs into September, so check it out. It's definitely worth seeing!

In 2022, over 250 artists applied: 50 were selected for the Emerging North Texas Artists List and 72 for the Established Texas / National Artists List.  A Review Panel made up of artists and arts and design professionals individually reviewed all eligible applications in Café, scoring on a scale of 1-7, with 1 being the lowest and 7 being the highest. 

It's official!  Sandra Lee was selected for the final list of Public Artists honored for future project consideration. https://fwpublicart.org/pre-qualified-artists/

Arts Fort Worth invites you to join us for brand new exhibitions opening in the newly renovated galleries!  Check out the all-new and continuing shows at artsfortworth.com/exhibitions. Hope to see you there!

Sandra was chosen in April as one of the finalists for the Fort Worth Public Art (FWPA) 2022 Pre-Qualified List of Emerging Public Artists. To complete her final requirements and be confirmed for future public art projects she had to create the art piece, sculpture design, research, propose, and budget for a temporary public art exhibit for the Arts Fort Worth (AFW) Courtyard on Gendy Street featuring her work.  Sandra actually submitted two proposals. The one shown first is titled "Luscious Bloom". More to come on this once AFW makes their final choice of artists.

Abstract art has been a viable form of visual creation for over a hundred years. Its meanings and manifestations have multiplied over those years, resisting or avoiding the whims of fashion to provide artists with an increasingly vast range of language and meaning.

Great news this week! Votes are in from the Arts Fort Worth Review Panel. I am approved for inclusion on the 2022 List of New Emerging Public Artists for Public Art project considerations! I've got a day-long orientation for participation in this in late May. I'll keep you posted & appreciate your support always! I am beyond grateful and quite excited about this opportunity!!! #artsfortworth #fluidart #2022artsfortworth #sandraleearts #FWPA 

Best Always,

I love and appreciate so many art forms. This glass studio is one that caught my eye last week, right across the street on Magnolia, while having a pre-surgery lunch with a dear friend (only I could eat that day). There is so much art culture in Fort Worth. This is one I'm going to dig deeper into. I'm curious and interested in what they're doing with glass and the greater good of our local community. Check them out!  https://www.sinacastudios.org and https://youtu.be/AcsRnLhR2Xw
