About The Artist:

The artwork of Anna Lisa Leal embodies the resplendent patterns of nature and particularly botanicals, which she portrays almost exclusively in soft pastels. For her, the brilliance of the pastel pigments allows her to represent the powerful impact that the colors of nature and its inhabitants have on her soul.

Like almost all her work since 2013, Anna Lisa’s paintings on exhibit at the Art Center will reflect nature’s captivating beauty and her artistic mission to transport nature’s beautiful design to indoor living spaces. 

Frequent subjects of her work, the various floral and animal inhabitants of the Southwest such as Big Bend, New Mexico, and Arizona reflect her Texas heritage growing up on the Texas/Mexico border.
