or abstraction doesn’t matter.
Capturing the energy of the

| Your Personal Biography |
Lelija Roy studied drawing at the Art Students League, New York and earned her BFA (Painitng) at the University of Bridgeport, CT in the 1970s. Her early career involved illustration and graphic design. Later her career moved into publishing, educational research and college teaching.
When she moved to Florida in 2004, painting became her primary focus. Here she reinvented her oil painting style using watercolors depicting tropical and native plant landscapes. She participated actively in the Arts & Humanities Council of Charlotte County and served as President of the North Port Area Art Guild. Her Florida exhibits include a solo show, “Reflections and Explorations” at the Culture Center of Charlotte County, FL as well as numerous Gulf Coast area group shows. Lelija’s triptych depicting the city’s environmental native plant park, “Wandering Along Myakkahatchee Creek” (watercolor 20”x90” © 2005) is exhibited as part of the permanent collection at the new City of North Port municipal building.
Lelija became a resident of Denver in 2006. Her artist’s eye turned from the lush tropics to the expansive prairies, canyons and mountains. This series of paintings, Trailscapes, captures the energetic intensity of sun, wind, rain, and snow in the landscape. Her impressionist oils appeared in the First Annual Celebrate Stapleton Artists. Lelija is an active member of the Colorado Watercolor Society (CWS). During this first year in Denver, she has also participating several groups shows at Lapis Gallery, Union Street Gallery, Gallery Gustave, and the Denver Art Students League. Most recently, her paintings appeared in the Denver Modernism Show, Mountainside Miniatures (Foothills Art Center), CWS 16th Annual State show (Arvada Center) and CORE Gallery.
