Pinwheel Gallery is proud to introduce Charlotte Lees (she/her) - one of the fantastic artists in The “For the Love of the Land” Show!!
Charlotte Lees transforms and translates the elements of nature to express a personal vision of her environment. Beauty matters and her goal is to create lasting images that connect man to his surroundings.
She was born and raised in Cleveland. Ms. Lees received the Ohio Arts Council Individual Artist Fellowship in 1995 for her outstanding body of sculpture.
Living on wooded property, trees became the perfect material for her wall and free standing images. Many of the cherry trees were logged, planked and carefully aged before carving. Most of her wood sculptures are intricately painted. This is a result of her early training as a graduate student at the Cleveland Institute of Art.
Being well travelled she has incorporated images from diverse cultures into her work. On a recent trip to Oaxaca, Mexico she became fascinated with embossed metal and has incorporated this technique into her artist vocabulary.
Art is her passion. Ms. Lees has successfully completed both public and private commissions in stainless steel, aluminum, bronze and wood. She has said that she enjoys the freedom of developing concepts without material constraints.
“For the Love of the Land” is on display until Friday, July 17th.
We can’t wait to see you walk through the Gallery door!
