About Lexi Sundell
Lexi Sundell is an award-winning artist who paints large canvases with an amazing luminosity. Her subjects often are flowers, bold dramatic and powerful flowers.
Her latest award was received this spring in the international competition Blossom: The Art of the Flower. Over 1700 entries from 14 countries were submitted and 50 paintings were selected for the show. The painting Orchid at Midnight by Lexi Sundell received a Juror’s Choice award. The show tours museums until 2009.
Her work has appeared in a variety of other exhibitions, such as Avant-Garden at the Torpedo Art Factory, three years in a row at the Yellowstone Art Museum, and at the Museum of Arts and Culture. Her paintings can be found in private and corporate collections worldwide.
Lexi Sundell grows most of the flowers she paints in her extensive and unruly gardens. Due to the difficult climate in Montana she uses some unorthodox growing methods which work well. Her greatest passion is for her Shirley poppies which bloom by the thousands in her gardens each year.
