BIO

MARY LEE
FLOTTE LOMBARD
About

New Orleans, Louisiana

American Expressionist

Nancy Rhodes of the New Orleans Times-Picayune newspaper writes:

​

"Mary Lee Lombard's paintings are rich in stylistic ideas. She has a masterful use of the oil medium. Her paintings explode gorgeous colors with the use of intricate and spontaneous brush work. They exhibit a sure touch of knowledge of drawing, as well as confidence about the final images she has discovered. Mary Lee Lombard's paitings are brilliant and lively."
