Unable to go to art school after high school, Earl joined the military in 1964, serving in the Philippines and Vietnam and NSA headquarters at Fort Meade, Maryland. Later he went to art school on the GI Bill, drawing and painting and graduating magna cum laude in 1979. He is a winner of the prestigious F. Lammot Belin Art Scholarship and was awarded a place on the PA Council of the Arts and the Arts in Education Roster. Earl taught and still teaches in this program and has been an artist in residence in schools and communities statewide. With a long teaching and exhibition history, Earl has won many awards. He believes that an artist is only as good as his last few paintings. He is represented by Mainstreet Galleries in Kingston, PA.
He lives with his dog Luna in a house with a wall of windows that he built in the Susquehanna County woods, looking down on Tuscarora Creek, which flows into the Susquehanna River through a remote part of Pennsylvania, in a place called Laceyville.
Earl Lehman’s paintings have voices of their own, and he hopes that you enjoy their songs.
