A solo show featruing an instructor and artists of LexArt Qingxiong Ma.

"The beauty of nature captivates me; I am always observing the light and the intricate structures and colors I encounter. I respond to these and express them in my paintings. Over the years, I have taken various natural locations as the inspiration for my paintings. The Huang Shan (the Yellow Mountains), the Great Wall and the Yangtze River in China,  the Grand Canyon, the Pacific Coast, New England in America,  and the beautiful mountains and waterfalls in Northern Europe….always these  have uplifted  me as I have created my paintings."

During the warmer months, LexArt will be hosting outdoor artisan pop-up markets in our Parking Lot. These markets will have vendors that are selling one of kind handmade arts and crafts. LexArt is inviting local artists to come set up a tent to sell their unique and well-crafted artwork.
