Vanessa Lemen is an award-winning painter based in Carlsbad, CA, with works exhibited and in private collections internationally.

LeGuin (Easton Press/MBI Inc) and in the illustrated limited editions of A Scanner Darkly by Philip K. Dick (Suntup Editions). Her work has also been published in such art books as Spectrum, Infected By Art, The Journal and Women of Wonder, and has been featured in articles in magazines such as American Art Collector, ImagineFX, and Poets And Artists.
