Lezley Saar, daughter of artist Betye Saar, is a Contemporary painter and mixed-media artist. Much of her work is narrative and inspired by literature or history, and Saar has commented that she wants the reader to be sucked into her art like a good book. Saar uses materials ranging from paint to fabric to found objects in her work. Her work has been exhibited in galleries and museums across the country, including a recent group exhibition with her mother’s and sister’s work.
