Lee Bogle can't remember when he wasn't an artist. Drawing, painting and picturing
life are among his earliest memories and have always been more than a pastime. For
many years he has described his art as an enduring passion.
Collectors know him for his images of Native Americans, often solitary figures of
women whose beauty far surpasses the superficial. Other works depict men and
women who appear as soul mates rather than mere romantic couples. While his
paintings artistically speak for themselves, they also reflect his appreciation for the
organic. Working with muted, atmospheric colors, he is a master at depicting the
expressive quality of light.
"There's a spirituality in my art that the viewer must interpret for himself. Frequently I
paint women whose faces are turned upwards, toward the sky. Many times their eyes
are closed, as if in peaceful contemplation. I want my paintings to express a depth of
serenity that comes only with inner peace."
Lee received his art degree from Central Washington University and pursued
graduate study at the University of Washington. His work is exhibited widely in galleries
and museums across the country.
