Sisters

Lesikin is an oil painter hailing from the mountains of North Carolina. As a child, her safe place was her bed. In her Bodyscapes series, she explores the human body in bed, draped in striped blankets, contrasting it with sky and clouds moving overhead. Her love of color is evident in her work, drawing on her art school course in color taught by a student of Josef Albers. Hearing-impaired, Lesikin finds solace in repeatedly listening to familiar music in her studio, but she can struggle in larger groups.
