Ilysa Leder

Working primarily in watercolor, Ilysa Leder is greatly influenced by the Impressionists and Abstract Expressionists, as well as contemporary landscape artists like Richard Mayhew, whose improvisational work prioritizes emotion over realism. She works mostly ‘en plein air,’ painting one subject at different times of day and during different seasons. Ilysa also marks memories, painting in her studio, facing Mt Tamalpais.
