Portfolio Example & Artist Statement
Le'Ana Banks

I create my oil paintings using a blend of traditional and contemporary techniques, layering rich, vibrant colors to achieve depth and luminosity. I build each piece with careful underpainting and refined details that bring my subjects to life. My brushwork balances precision with expressive movement, capturing the energy and spirit of Native culture. I emphasize storytelling, texture, and symbolism through this process, ensuring each painting resonates with meaning and emotion.
