Bio
Lea Barozzi is a Portland, OR artist whose work has shown in galleries all over the world. Her illustrations have been featured on surfboards, skateboards, books, jewelry, and apparel.

When she is not covered in paint, she enjoys exploring the Oregon coast, listening to punk rock, and devouring scifi/fantasy.
Artist Statement
The aesthetic world of Lea Barozzi is a purgatorial realm where a living fog sustains a sense of static tension and freezes the emotional states of its subjects in contemplative introspection. It is punctuated by symbolic props that engage the viewer with instant metaphorical recognition and elements of surprise which draw on our love of mystery. It is populated with little maidens and echoes of discarded dolls who are no strangers to loneliness but persevere to find their way in the dark out of the corners they have found themselves painted into.
Lea's art helps us to explore the perils and peace in the isolation we all find ourselves reluctantly enjoying when no one else is there.
