ARTIST PROFILE: 
Lei Wen comes from a family with a long history of artistic tradition. Lei worked as a graphic designer for a few years, but she has since realized that her passion lies with fine art painting.  She was drawn into New Zealand’s fascinating environment, from both a nature lover's, and an artist's standpoint. As a result, she began to focus on the portraying of the essence of nature. New Zealand’s wildlife and landscapes fuel her passion to recreate those images, along with the spirit that resides within them, through her art – for those who share her love for nature.

Lei experiments with various techniques and styles, which ultimately helps her to develop and improve on her own. Her most preferred media is acrylic watercolor on board or canvas. She is most comfortable with acrylic paints, because they allow her to achieve the degrees of realism in her paintings, and the technical effects that she desires.
