ABOUT THE ARTIST

Lee Blakeney

Painter  |  Plein Air Artist  |  Creekwood Ranch, Canyon, Texas

For over fifty years, Lee Blakeney has devoted her life to capturing the raw beauty of the American West. From her studio at Creekwood Ranch — nestled in the headwaters of Palo Duro Canyon — Lee paints the landscapes, wildlife, and quiet moments that define life in the Texas Panhandle.

THE STORY

A Life Shaped by the Land

Lee's journey with art began as a child, sketching the animals and landscapes of rural Texas. What started as a quiet passion grew into a lifelong calling — one that has taken her across the American Southwest, from the red cliffs of New Mexico to the serene waters of Lake Tahoe.

Her work is rooted in the tradition of plein air painting — working outdoors, directly from life. She paints what she sees: the way morning light catches a horse's mane, the deep shadows of a canyon at dusk, the quiet dignity of an old adobe chapel.

Faith, family, and the land are the three pillars of Lee's art. Each painting is a reflection of gratitude — for the beauty that surrounds her and the gift of being able to share it.
