You could say Lea Ellermeier is a painter and you would be right. But it's not the whole truth. It's hard to put a label on Lea. She is an entrepreneur and CEO, author, and painter. She describes herself as a creative person trying to understand the world through her many artistic endeavors.

“I may not be able to put into words what 1983 was like, or a kiss, or the Berkshires. BUT WHEN I BEGIN TO PAINT, I CAN TRANSLATE THE FEELING TO AN IMAGE: I capture what roller skating in the 1970s looked like through my child’s eyes (ROLLER HEAVEN) or how singing along with Tina Turner’s makes me feel. (WHAT’S LOVE GOT TO DO WITH IT).”

Christian Kneisel, former director of the Brandenburg Theatre and curator of the Brennabor Art Gallery said of Lea, “Lea Ellermeier immerses herself in parallel universes, creates her own galaxies as if she were looking at them from the inside. She gives us coded hints to visible realities, turns the inside out and is brave enough to make deeply hidden things clear to us.”

Lea received her B.A. from the University of Texas at El Paso and an M.B.A. from the Thunderbird, School of Global Management in Glendale, Arizona. She and her husband split their time between Dallas, Texas and Berlin, Germany.

Her paintings have been sold worldwide and are currently available at the Daum Gallery in Dallas, Texas, Casa Costa in Dallas, Texas, Coast Gallery in Laguna Beach, CA, Art Social in Plano, TX and Space by RBI in Corpus Christi, Texas.
