About Me

Artist L. E. Fen (b. 1983) is an interdisciplinary artist currently living and working in downtown St. Pete. A unique voice among his peers at the Art Lofts Studios, Fen's figurative paintings of female subjects - often drawn from vintage soure photography - convey a type of beauty that devastates. There is romance and glamour but also a sort of turned inwardness and melancholy that pervades his paintings. From small, intimate portraits to full-scale works on panel, his ladies are as alluring as they are collectable. L. E. Fen worked in music production before receiving his MFA in Creative Writing & Poetry from Stetson University and most recently, expanding into visual arts with his foray into drawing and painting beginning five years ago.
