‘Wind That Bends the Seeing’ by Vanessa Lemen

Vanessa Lemen is a painter based in Southern California with works exhibited and in private collections internationally, and featured in several esteemed publications. Her paintings are layered in subtle allegory, with an explorative process that intertwines realism and abstract to depict humanity, metaphor and story. It’s excerpts from her personal journey and reflection that she credits most as the inspiration for her work, and the very nature of her spontaneous process as the impetus of discovery, continuously revealing the ever-evolving balance of the deep-seated and the unknown.
