Lee-Ann Ormandy-Becker
Artist’s Statement
“When I paint, I am hugely influenced by the concepts of memory, dreams, mythology and the
subconscious and I try to convey their influence on what I am inspired to paint. My aim is to
create poetry through the medium of paint.
When I paint, my need to explore the visceral quality of oil paint is overwhelming. The urge to
push and pull, to squeeze and squash the paint into an emotion, influences every painting that I
paint.”
Biography
Lee-Ann Ormandy-Becker was born in Mbabane, Swaziland in 1962 but her parents returned to South Africa when she was two years old. She now resides in the Overberg coastal village of Rooiels where she works full-time as an artist.
Lee-Ann had her first solo exhibition at NSA Gallery 1997 and has participated in a number of group exhibitions over the years. She had a painting selected for the Brett Kebble 2004 exhibition and was awarded a Merit Award by CSA Western Cape for her ceramics in 2019.Both clay and oil paint are part of her creative process, with her having to divide her time between the two mediums and they both reflect her need to work with texture and tactility.
