You could say Lea Ellermeier is a painter, and you would be right. But it’s not the whole truth.It’s hard to put a label on Lea. She is an entrepreneur, CEO, author, and a painter. She describesherself as a creative person trying to understand the world through her many artisticendeavors.“I may not be able to put into words what 1983 was like, or a kiss, or the Berkshires. But when Ibegin to paint, I can translate the feeling to an image. I capture what roller skating in the 1970slooked like through my child’s eyes (Roller Heaven) or how singing along with Tina Turnermakes me feel (What’s Love Got to Do with It).”Her artistic style mirrors the multifaceted nature of her professional work. It’s not a fixed style,but it mixes up how we see the everyday landscapes, pulls apart the lines and shapes and colorsto show something entirely new.Lea received her B.A. from the University of Texas at El Paso and an M.B.A. from ThunderbirdSchool of Global Management in Glendale, Arizona. She and her husband split their timebetween Dallas, Texas and Berlin, Germany.Her paintings have been sold worldwide.
