Lenore Kreit

I have a lifelong love of art that began when my mother enrolled me in a still life charcoal class when I was five.  I continued taking art classes in high school and college but working and raising my family interrupted my studies.  Since 2002 I have resumed working as an artist.

My first love is Impressionism and the way color and light play to convey an impression or suggestion of a moment.  I have tried a variety of media including:  acrylics, oils, watercolors, pastels and even egg tempura from a 13th century text.  Acrylics and pastels are the most forgiving and the humanistic core in life drawing and portraits have the most meaning for me.

The last few years I have expanded my work to include the beauty in still life and California rural landscapes I grew up in.
