"We have had the pleasure of working with Gail Lehman, and it has been a truly rewarding experience. Her artwork is beautiful, highly professional, and reflects exceptional quality. Beyond her artistic talent, Gail brings an outstanding entrepreneurial spirit. She is kind, reliable, detail-oriented, and a great support to everyone she works with. We look forward to continuing our collaboration and meeting her in Amsterdam in June 2014."

"I have acquired several works on paper , three small paintings and one very large painting by Gail Lehman. The large painting- THE DANCER -can not be passed without an uplifting feeling of joy. The vivid colors, the use of space and the textures make her pieces unique. These qualities combine to create a feeling of movement that is present in all her works"
PRIVATE COLLECTOR
★★★★★
"I have purchased several paintings from this artist to decorate a Victorian style apartment in San Francisco. The work is exquisite and greatly enhances the beauty & charm of the apartment. I wanted original, fine art but can't afford most art of this caliber ($20k+). I was surprised and grateful that these paintings were within a reachable price point."

"There are rare occasions where chance encounters prompt finding a professional who checks all the boxes. Ms. Lehman’s exceptional artistic talents transformed creating a matriarchal legacy in my family with effortless contribution. Over a decade ago, I was in Ms. Lehman’s studio and found “The Lady in Red.” “The Lady in Red” presented itself as a reflection of my Grandmother who was being memorialized via a scholarship where several matriarchal generations of my family attended University. Ms. Lehman’s “The Lady in Red” not only captured the unique spirit of my Grandmother - who loved and wore the color red - it also portrays the true essence of Ms. Lehman’s work that parallels the great contemporary masters of the centuries. Any contemporary abstract collector would be honored to have a “Lehman” in their collection. I was so pleased with “The Lady in Red” purchase that Ms. Lehman has been commissioned to paint an additional family member’s reflection as part of the same University’s art collection in 2026."

"It is a challenge to write about Gail Lehman's work. Mainly because it is so personal, in addition to being wonderful. I believe that everyone who encounters Gail's paintings will bring themselves to the experience. "

"Gail Lehman's contemporary art work compliments our understated elegant decor with her bold colors so full of energy and passion. We love our oversize abstract, named One plus One."

★★★★★
"Gail Lehman is one of the top international contemporary abstract artists of our time! Her background and passion for creating art that espouses her love for color, texture, luminosity and sophistication is unmatched. I purchased her painting "The Lady in Red" as a reflection of my Grandmother's "joie de vivre" and "The Lady in Red" is now the anchor piece of art for a collection at Marywood University in Scranton, Pennsylvania. Gail will also be commissioned in 2015 to create a second painting that will adorn the wall opposite "The Lady in Red" in Marywood's Regina Hall. This painting will be part of a new endowed family scholarship to be announced in October 2015. Finally, there are three additional paintings in my private collection that will be endowed to Marywood in the future."

the Canvas.

"When I look at a clean canvas the excitement rises in me
— akin to an author beginning to tell a story, a composer creating a symphony."

Step inside Gail's studio in Carmel by the Sea — surrounded by
oak and pine trees, minutes from the Pacific — where intuition,
color, and form come alive on canvas.

COMMISSIONS

YOUR SPACE.
YOUR STORY.

Gail accepts a limited number of commissions each year—working directly with collectors and designers to create paintings that respond to the architecture, light, and spirit of a particular space.

From the boardrooms she once designed to the living rooms of collectors on three continents, Gail brings the same precision, intuition, and fearlessness to every commissioned work.
