About the Instructor:
Lee O’Connell is primarily a watercolor artist who dabbles in oils. She began her artistic career after retiring as Director of Admissions, from Chemung Valley Montessori School in Big Flats. Lee is a self-taught painter, though truly that is a misnomer as there have been many teachers in her life. It does mean she does not have an art background, though she’s always been a creative, artsy soul. Lee tends to paint loosely, only adding enough detail to draw the eye and describe the moment she’s caught on paper.
Lee belongs to many art societies including Women in Watercolor, the American Watercolor Society, the Central New York Watercolor Society as well as several local art societies including the Elmira Regional Art Society, 171 Cedar Arts Center, the Arts Council of the Southern Tier, Community Arts of Elmira and many more. Currently, you can find her work in the Franklin Street Gallery in Watkins Glen, NY and in Pink Bellini on Market Street in Corning. You can find her online on Instagram as @leeoconnellartist, on Facebook as Lee O’Connell -Artist, or on her website at www.leeoconnell.org.
She has won several awards for her work including honorable mention in the Palette Show at the Arnot Art Museum and Jurors Choice Award at the Central New York Watercolor Society show.
Lee lives in Corning, New York and divides her time between painting and canoeing, her two great passions. She often combines the two and paints while floating about in her canoe—though not her best work she freely admits, but fun and inspiring, nevertheless.
