Art As Life

With a double major in graphic design and fine art, LeeAnn Brook is an honors graduate of Paier School of Art in Hamden, Connecticut. Throughout her college career, Brook funded her education by selling her fine art paintings in galleries and art shows throughout New England and New York.

Having developed an early interest in painting, Brook sold her work and garnered awards throughout New England from high school age on, and at the age of 20, had her first one-woman show. Prior to moving to California in 1975, she was accepted into the highly acclaimed Connecticut Society of Women Painters, and had earned over 15 awards in juried shows throughout New York and New England.

She received an Award of Merit from the California State Fair in 2009, and shows her work in the Northern California region.
