48 YEARS OF ART & IMAGE-MAKING

My career began with a degree in illustration, with professional work completed while attending trade school between 1978 and 1979. Since then, the creative journey has continued to evolve.

Along the way, I have worked with leaders in the candy, gift, and beverage industries, traveled through 58 cities in ten countries, and photo-documented more than 400 consecrated spaces (an exploration of the relationship between liturgical aesthetics and Christian theology). Projects have ranged from visualizing Clouds Within Crosses that interpreted biblical texts, and reimagining Schoenberg’s Pierrot Lunaire, Op. 21, for conductor Ben Makino, to large-scale commercial commissions including a Tazmanian Devil skateboard halfpipe, tradeshow environments for Warner Bros., Fox Television, and Compaq Computers, and the painting of all Wyland tile murals in Laguna Beach, California.

My work has included exhibiting and selling original fine art in galleries and shows, presenting a solo museum exhibition, creating abstract photographic images from the yards of one of the nation’s largest scrap-metal companies, and developing a new form of conceptual photography during the pandemic.

It has been a remarkable journey through the visual arts—one for which I remain grateful, and one I am fortunate to continue.

This website highlights my current artwork. I hope a LeFever artwork or two will find their way into your art collection and be a cherished addition to your home or office.
