Bio + Accolades

Lea Gray, botanical artist, currently resides in Columbus, Ohio. She studied fine arts with a focus in landscape painting at the Columbus College of Art and Design while pursuing a bachelor's degree in fine arts. Soon after, she discovered Origami, and it led her to explore a more intricate path to creating with paper as a primary medium. Her love and deep interest in nature spawned a new direction in emulating plants, flowers, and trees. Lea is continually inspired by all botanical elements and is passionate about engraved veins and edges amongst layers of sprays and paints for the final look. After several years of specializing in her craft, Lea has now expanded her practice into larger formatted installations. Each piece is engineered with structural aspects to ensure durable, lasting installments. With her original paper flower works, Lea has gained national notoriety being published by the Wall Street Journal in a paper flowers article, 614 magazine, a full page article in the Columbus Dispatch for a local exhibition, and even had an interview with Broad and High, a local art review television broadcast. Additionally, she has had the privilege of exhibiting her art at prestigious institutions such as the Franklin Park Conservatory and the Cleveland Botanical Gardens. Lea's work has been featured on TV shows like TLC's "Dragnificent", where she created a beautiful paper bouquet for the bride, and in the Lionsgate film "How to be a Latin Lover", adorning the wedding scene with hundreds of her succulents. She has also created product attributes for a national brand called Farmhouse Fresh. As a way to connect with the community, she offers workshops of her creations, and has taught at several local and regional venues.
