LE BohemianMuse
LE BohemianMuse is a first-generation Ghanaian-American artist in the San Francisco Bay Area. As a storyteller, she uses abstract painting, writing, performing, and filmmaking to weave narratives. Through this persona, she revitalizes the influence that art has on life and society, using the creative force as a mirror to the joys and faults of humanity.
LE began exploring the ideas of creating new worlds through storytelling and did, with ease, finding ways to incorporate her stories into alternative mediums of art (Writing, Theatre, and Abstract Painting). Through her education at LMU (Loyola Marymount University), she learned about the different facets of art and majored in Theater and Studio Art. A year later she auditioned and was accepted to the British American Drama Academy (BADA) in Oxford, England, where she continued to study various theatrical art forms.
Fast forward years later, LE has presented her paintings in various art shows (Superfine Art Fair, Artspan Open Studios, Art Attack Gallery, and more) in different U.S. cities. In addition to being featured artist in the SF Gate article “ 'I'm still creating, I won't stop creating': Life as an SF artist in shutdown.” Recently she was one of the featured artists in Voyage LA Magazine “Local Stories “May 2020 issue.
In August 2020, LE had her first solo exhibition, “Renegade Renaissance,” at Art Attack gallery. This show features her series work called “Rebel,” an experimental s an experimental series where LE goes against her creative instinct. "Within this challenge, I have pushed myself to move past my old habits of creation and have evolved a new approach towards my abstract paintings."
"Art means everything to me," LE continues, "it is everywhere. It's a venue of creation; we are beautiful examples of art just walking around. It showcases our beauties and our faults, it provides us with an option to go to when we are in pain, and it can glorify our greatest moment. I draw inspiration from other elements of artistry (music, poetry, paintings, etc.), and through my observation of watching humanity and based on what I feel, I create something from that."
"Don't Silence Me"
My mural is about efforts to silence an artist voice. I've experienced plenty moments in my life as an African - American women and abstract artist, constantly fighting to get my art seen and heard. You have to fight to have your voice heard, and to be seen. So I wanted bring out what that inner emotional battle looks and feels like.
