ARTISTS
Lee Boccacci
An acclaimed independent filmmaker and artist based in Tulsa, Oklahoma, Lee Boccacci is recognized as one of the state's leading indie auteurs. After spending five years working on Hollywood productions, Boccacci transitioned to independent film, earning both the Best Actor award and the Indie Auteur Ambassador title at a 2025 film festival.

In 2025, Boccacci was also honored as a Stay Gold Artist at Tulsa's Mayfest, where a featured painting—valued at $10,000—was exhibited as part of a celebrity portrait collection. These portraits, often signed by their subjects, are regularly showcased at a local movie theater.

Boccacci’s 17th feature film, Stray Kids, is currently circulating through festivals and special screenings ahead of its planned streaming release. In 2010, he became the first person in Oklahoma to receive the Indie Auteur Award and was just 17 years old when he completed his first feature film—making him the youngest filmmaker in the state to do so.

Spanning from 2000 to 2025, Boccacci’s career includes numerous accolades in both film and art. He currently resides in Tulsa, where he performs in the long-running play The Drunkard at the historic Spotlight Theater, organizes special film events, and leads the Indie Showcase film festival.

I wanted to capture the primitive attractions of this little country store that was located south of Bowie Texas. I decided to stop and investigate the treasures advertised on all the hand painted signs. I noticed that there were no concerns for the way things were displayed! Weeds grew freely between the objects of interest Inventory was probably a foreign word here! I looked at all the old tool boxes, chairs, and wheel barrels, baby buggy?s and bicycles, plus many other item?s happil

In 2018, I had a stroke and forgot how to paint in watercolor. Recently I?ve been taking a few classes and reading a lot of how to books. The passing of my niece?s beloved pet, triggered me to try a realistic subject. She loves my painting and I think I did good.
