Lee Schauer

Lee is a painter, educator, and retreat leader whose work is rooted in clarity, care, and creative momentum. With over forty years of experience teaching watercolor, drawing, and mixed media, Lee has guided hundreds of students toward deeper confidence, stronger skills, and a more sustainable connection to their own art. Her paintings often reflect a close, quiet relationship to the natural world, while her teaching invites students to slow down, trust their instincts, and return to curiosity.

Her classes and retreats are both structured and spacious—built around strong foundations, but always open to personal voice and pace. Whether you’re learning online, attending an in-person workshop, or traveling abroad for a retreat, Lee creates environments that are generous, grounded, and emotionally intelligent. She teaches the way she paints: with attention, playfulness, and deep respect for process. Students leave with more than technique—they leave with momentum, clarity, and a renewed sense of what their creative life can look like.
