Artist Statement:
Legassi Brumbaugh has lived in
the Austin area most of her
life. Her artwork is inspired
by African American history,
culture and heritage. While
her earlier works featured
strong representational
graphite and charcoal
drawings, her latest works are
more of a loose abstraction of
form in a sea of color. A
majority of her works are with
watercolor and charcoal.
Legassi also uses egg tempera,
graphite and oil. Her
influences are the late Dr.
John T. Biggers and Paul
Goodnight....

| Biggest Artistic Inspiration |
I've had many artistic inspiration in my life before I finally became brave enough to call myself an artist. My mother and mother-in-law both inspired me to have confidence to take my art seriously. My mentor and art teacher allowed me to discover and accept my personal style. |

| Your Personal Biography |
Legassi Brumbaugh picked up the pencil in the summer of 1999 after much encouragement of her mother-in-law who was an award-winning watercolorist in the Northwest. Pencil and paper was the only art supplies she could afford and her teachers were literally the blank page and desire. She began painting in 2002 after she was taken under the wing of her current mentor who is an award-winning watercolorist in Central Texas.
Legassi is married with 3 children and a grandchild on the way. |
