Lea Goldman is a full time painter and printmaker.  Her work is narrative in nature with close attention to abstract elements such as composition, texture and form.  Her interest in multi-cultural traditions, legends and folklore evolved into a personal mythology, constantly developing, and expressed in an array of art images and materials. 

Lea earned her MA in art from Columbia University, New York City, NY, and MFA in Studio Arts from California State University, Los Angeles. 

Lea’s prints and paintings have been exhibited in museums and galleries throughout the country, have received many awards and were featured in numerous solo shows.  She has been published in several newspapers and magazines, including In Michiana, The George Washington University Literary Review, Chicago BAC Journal, and Indigo 2009 Anthology. Her painting ‘Raven’ appeared on the cover of the Summer Issue of Ink Filled Page magazine.

Lea's works can be found in numerous private and public collections including the "Lerner Theater Collection" curated by the Midwest Museum of American Art, Elkhart IN.

She lives and works in South Bend, Indiana.
