Lesa Shaw

Lesa Shaw is an American artist whose work radiates with vibrant color, celebrating themes of beauty, adaptability, grace, and independence. A self-taught artist, Lesa’s creative journey began in childhood, where she found joy in making paper doll figures—a simple yet profound spark that ignited a lifelong passion for artistic expression.

Lesa’s unique perspective informs her art, allowing her to navigate a diverse range of themes while reflecting the intricate beauty of the human experience. Her artistic process is deeply rooted in experimentation and discovery, treating each painting as a continuous evolution of form and meaning.

“For every brush stroke, a new discovery emerges,” Lesa explains. “Start with a shape, add some color, then try blending with other colors and see how the greens and pinks merge so beautifully. That’s the way it began, and its language is ongoing.”
