Lenore Sempert is an artist who has successfully paired expression with spontaneity. Inspired by travels, her works are poignant and filled with layers of meaning. Using what moves her, often by chance, Sempert creates colorful collage works using acrylic paint, found images, and paper. She frequently employs large areas of bold color juxtaposed with smaller areas of complementary hues, causing the image to tremble with energy. Looking closer, one may spot scratches in the paint and observe the fine details of the printed matter affixed to the surface, painted over with thin washes, revealing only what Sempert chooses. Other works are proper collages, less painterly and tightly focused on the textural qualities of handmade papers and printed words and images. These works are calmer yet fascinating, and one views the image in both an aesthetic and an exploratory way as one tries to comprehend the meaning of this visual ensemble. “The goal is to create paintings that breathe and expand the space around them,” she explains. “The dialogue between artist and viewer completes the artistic process.”

Her works seem to flow from within, natural in their creation and at ease in their display. She is very active in her community, working to provide artistic experiences for both adults and children.
