Artist’s Statement: The flow of water, light natural sensual movement triggers a deep, creative spark in my being. As I gaze above and close my eyes I try to discover the messages that are linked with our evolution. My art arrives through discovery.

Artist Bio: Lia Strell is a native Southern California sculptor, her style is alluring. To appreciate her art is to understand the artist. Her work has been evolving since childhood. She was introduced to oil painting at age six, and by age 12, she knew she wanted to be an artist. Her university years were spent exploring art through glass and ceramics.

In the 1990s, Lia was fascinated with marble and spent summers sculpting in Italy where she created a marble series that is valued and cherished. Her work continues in metals, steel, aluminum, copper, bronze, silver, and gold.

Today, Lia’s work is being recognized for healing within the Arts at hospitals and botanical gardens. She believes positive thoughts create positive health and that being creative is both positive and healing. Inspired by natural movement of water and light, Lia’s way is at the center between art and energy work. Luminous emotive symbols of movement capture the imagination from large scale Public Art to personal pieces in many sizes.
