Painting a landscape in oil or pastel, Lamya Deeb aims to capture an emotional connection to a particular moment and place, and to spark that feeling in the viewer. Her still-life paintings likewise convey the soul of the subjects and poetic qualities of illumination.
Born in the U.S., Deeb grew up in Beirut, Lebanon, becoming a witness to that country’s devastating civil war. Conversely, her family’s extensive travels in Europe and the Middle East brought her face to face with the great art and scenic beauty of those regions. Those experiences have had profound impact on her life and work.
With a degree in painting from Colorado State University, and a working background in illustration and design, Deeb has painted the landscape “en plein air” since 2006, and has studied with prominent artists in the landscape and still-life genres.
She currently lives in the charming small town of Niwot, Colorado. Her work is represented by Mary Williams Fine Arts in Boulder, Colorado, and by Osmosis Art Gallery and Fly Away Home Decor in Niwot.
From 2014 to 2018, Deeb participated in five consecutive Plein Air for the Park events at Grand Teton National Park. This magnificent, treasured natural area will always occupy a special place very close to her heart.
