Liese Chavez is both co-owner and fine artist at Chavez Gallery in
Colorado Springs, CO, established in 2014. Having grown up in
Massachusetts, Liese’s artwork still carries some of the flavor of
the East Coast and creating art with a dry sense of humor will
always remind her of home. Her painting style would best be
described as Narrative Surrealism. Each oil painting tells a visual
story, sometimes humorous, sometimes unsettling, but always with
a dream-like quality.
Liese’s art education has been achieved through dedicated study of
art textbooks and videos combined with daily practice. She began
her studies in 2005 and continues to study the oldest practices in
oil painting such as the Flemish layered technique for creating
luminous skin.
Liese now lives and works in California.
