Columbia, S.C. – Alicia Leeke announces the launch of her redesigned website,www.alicialeeke.com. The new site segments her work into four categories and allows viewers to preview new works easier. “The new design gives my patrons a wider selection of works to choose from than what was previously available, and segments the work into Landscapes, Cityscapes, and Monotypes plus a special Prints and Cards section,” says Leeke. All of the images found on the site are available as signed, limited-edition prints. Select greeting cards and her most popular pints are also available on the greeting card and print page. In January 2009, she released her new “Abstract Landscape” series with rave reviews in the marketplace. She is currently working on a new series of Cityscapes for launch mid-year. Patrons are drawn to her robust use of color and gentle distortions of linear perspective and comment on the positive visual response that is evoked when viewing her paintings. About Alicia Leeke Alicia Leeke started her artistic studies at Columbia College under Steven Nevitt. During her sophomore year she vacationed in Paris and visited the Louve, where she fell in love with impressionism and the work of noted artists: Mondrian, Lautrec, Degas, Manet, Monet, Renoir and later, Utrillo. She also visited her most inspiring spot in France, Montmarte. She later developed an interest in the Fauves and their use of intense black lines which became the model for her post-impressionistic style. While Leeke prefers to paint landscapes and quaint street scenes she also strives to capture the essence of every-day events, converting ordinary scenes into lively images. Complementing each painting is a robust combination of dry brush painting techniques to create texture. She manipulates acrylics to capture the thick rich texture of oils and mixes a palette full of rich reds, vibrant oranges, shocking blues and sharp white accents. You may contact Alicia about her paintings by calling (803) 429-5456 (Studio at Edinburgh) or via email atinfo@alicialeeke.com. Visithttp://www.alicialeeke.com/for more information.
