Lael Har is a prolific painter, full-time artist, art coach, and mother of two. She began painting as a young girl, eagerly learning oils, acrylics, watercolor, and life drawing from accomplished art instructors.  In high school, she began commissioning artwork and was employed to paint interior and theatrical murals. With a scholarship, she participated at The College of Design at Iowa State University for a summer art program. After graduating from M.U.M University with a BFA she moved to Boulder to begin a career as a graphic designer. Lael entered the art trade as a professional, inspired by meeting her mentor Dvora Kanegis and spending the next 4 years studying acrylics and the business of art. In 2009 Lael took charge of the studio now named Lael Gallery & Studios and more recently has grown the studio into an artist community. Lael has participated in open studios, art festivals, galleries, and museum shows since 2005.

​

Part of the joy of sharing her talents is teaching painting workshops and inspiring others to find their creative voice through art. Lael continues to use teaching, her world travels, and the rich outdoors of Colorado and the West to inspire a large collection of work. Using big brushes and lots of vivid acrylic color she creates movement and joy on the canvas. Her paintings are collected nationally and displayed in local homes all across the front range.
