Lisa Higby LeFevre
Memory affects our visual
experience and our sense of
place, but memory is also fluid,
alive, continually evolving and, with
that, our history is tempered.
These aspects of memory provide
the driving force behind my work –
a meditative process, a journey, in
which content follows process.
There is a unique emotional power
in the first view of any landscape,
such as a mountain or ocean. I try
to capture the sensation of our
Midwest setting as if you were
seeing it for the first time – an
environment that I find to be
nuanced, intense and a one that
evokes meditation. I endeavor to
create an expression of the
grassland’s transcendent spirit
through my art and forge a sense
of place. In this artistic journey, I
seek to uncover an emotional
reality and resurrect all associated
thoughts and sensations. My
paintings of the Midwest
landscape, therefore, are rural
psycho-geographies that seek to
evoke a shared human response.
