Leelee Sobieski debuted a new painting on Wednesday. She had a very enviable career with successful films year after year. Seen in 2019 in New York City.
It’s a colorful 90 x 79 presentation whimsically called ‘Midnight Snack,’ which she shared on Instagram. The beauty is now a painter after working for many decades in Hollywood.
She wore lingerie to appear in director Stanley Kubrick’s 1999 Tom Cruise film Eyes Wide Shut.
According to a 2018 MutualArt article, his artwork can sell for up to $37,500, but it’s likely gone higher in recent years.
The beauty, who goes by Leelee Kimmel after marrying fashion designer Adam Kimmel in 2010, shows off her paintings on Instagram.
Her background screams art: she majored in visual arts at Brown University and her father, Jean Sobieski, is a famous painter.
“I thought that because of my past, my work would be judged harshly,” Leelee admitted to artnet News in 2018.

“I had to make sure that if everyone really hated them, I would still feel good about it. This is really what’s inside of me, and I’m not trying to be anyone else… It was almost like coming out or something! So!’ she added.
The star also shared: ‘I continued to work fervently in secret. Painting was always my goal; I kept getting distracted by work things and paying bills.’
She no longer acts, but paints full time while raising her two children, Louisiana and Martin.

Seen with Josh Hartnett in Heaven on Earth in 2000.
And she is seen here with Chris Klein in Heaven On Earth.
He made his last film when he was 27 years old.
But Leelee has no regrets about working as an actress in her youth.
‘I had a very happy childhood, I had a lot of fun and I did some jobs that I feel good about. “I feel blessed to have been able to have these experiences that other people find very desirable,” she stated.
“In my paintings there’s a lot about energy and vibrations and the whole world being connected,” Kimmel explained, contrasting that sense of control with the experience of being on a film set. “If you’re on a team and 150 people pressure you to fall in love with someone else, everyone supports it. That is the energy of many people, but it is false.”
In the thriller The Glass House in 2001.
And in 2002 he appeared in the film Joy Ride.
She also had some very serious roles: in the 1999 film Joan of Arc as Joan D’Arc.
And unlike acting, painting gives you real experiences.
“Actors end up going from one role to another with all this energy behind them, and you become more and more empty; you end up having no real experiences,” he shared.
“To cry, you end up turning to the experiences of another character you played.”
And she doesn’t want to star in romances: ‘I don’t want my children to watch Netflix and see me on the screen in the arms of someone who is not their father.’
Kimmel makes assertively abstract paintings, and yet his work addresses in a playful but conceptually investigative way questions of “hidden,” surreptitious, or cryptic representation, according to Almine Rech.
“She is committed to the formal adventure of abstraction, but renounces any comforting illusions about purity or purgative ‘rigor.’ Kimmel works in painting, sculpture and virtual reality.
‘His paintings have been exploring themes of creation and destruction. Personal signage that emerges and invades the canvas in multilayer oil, oil stick and acrylic.
“It’s the macro and the micro, the human soul, spy against spy,” he added on Rech’s website.
In her latest Instagram post on Thursday, she shared an image of a large canvas. “Night Rider, 76 x 108 inches, 2020-2021, oil, oil stick and acrylic on canvas,” she wrote in her caption.
