Some of Lea's artist statement;
"As a multi-disciplinary artist, my work is pulled through themes of grief, the body, the subconscious and spirituality. I am drawn to color and expression that is dark, ethereal and enigmatic, often weaving a story that is timeless. I carry through my work the souls of my ancestors, the burden and weight of life itself and the spirit reaching to create beauty, rhythm and Godliness through this weight. My work speaks of the dichotomies between the body and the soul, earth and heaven, the mourning and longing on a microcosmic and macrocosmic level. I’m especially drawn to speak through the voice of womanhood, the feminine spirit that wanders in some sense exiled and whispering for that Venusian space of movement, wind, breath, and ultimately the soul performing through the existence of a body."
