Bio

Leza Lin began her artistic journey at a young age, discovering the thousand-year-old art 

treasures at the Taipei National Palace Museum, and returning to see them regularly. She came 

to New York City to study Interior Design and Fine Art at the Fashion Institute of Technology, 

and there she received her BFA.  While working in the design field, she continued her study of 

abstract painting at the Art Students League of New York, eventually deciding to pursue a full-

time career as an artist. Leza paints simultaneously with oil and water media, exploring and 

interweaving the aesthetics of the East and the West.  Leza has exhibited at the Metropolitan 

Museum’s Uris Education Center, Yale University’s Humanity Center, Centre Pompidou’s Petite 

Salle, Lincoln Center’s Cork Gallery, and the Phyllis Harriman Mason Gallery.  Her works have 

been published in For an Aesthetic Practice (Yale University), and her paintings are held in 

private collections.

Life is filled with marvelous unknowns! I’m always fascinated by the mysterious diversity of 

light, as it dances in between falling leaves, revives our forgotten memories, and creates color 

harmonies and contrasts in our lives.  I paint with “Color as Light” in mind and infuse spatial 

rhythms to transform the emotions and expression of light.  Each painting takes me on a 

wondrous journey between time and space, known and unknown, void and solid.  My goal as 

an artist is to continuously explore pure beauty and sensuous imagination.
