Lenore Chinn is a second generation Asian American artist whose realistic acrylics on canvas have been exhibited in juried regional and national exhibitions. Her visibility as an artist and a community activist in the San Francisco Bay Area has generated much interest in her works, which frequently make visual references to the lesbian and gay cultures. The artist's signature pieces, with their crisply rendered compositions, have been the focus of numerous artist profiles, academic discourses on contemporary visual artists, and several international women's anthologies.
