Taking The Train Home

Lee Anne LaForge is an Ottawa-based artist working in acrylic and encaustic media. A student of Lila Lewis, whose lineage traces to Helen Frankenthaler, she has developed a distinct abstract style rooted in the traditions of modernism. Her encaustic work explores layered translucency, combining pigment and photographic imagery with beeswax and resin to create depth and tension. A full-time artist since 2007, La Forge brings technical skill and conceptual clarity to her practice.
