Michaele LeCompte (b. 1949) is a painter, sculptor and educator whose vibrant abstractions explore the relationships between color, form and composition. She earned an M.F.A. from Mills College in 1980, receiving a Catherine Morgan Trefethen Fellowship. Working primarily in painting and collage, LeCompte creates bold compositions that balance geometric structures with improvisation and playful visual rhythms. A longtime member of Sacramento's artistic community, LeCompte taught at Sacramento City College for 30 years before retiring in 2016.
