June Lerman (1926–2020) was an American painter celebrated for her vibrant, expressive depictions of coastal and harbor scenes, particularly those inspired by New England landscapes. Working primarily in watercolor and oil, Lerman developed a distinctive style characterized by bold color, dynamic composition, and a strong sense of structure influenced by her background in design. She was especially known for her paintings of boats, docks, and seaside towns, where simplified forms and luminous palettes conveyed both movement and atmosphere. Throughout her long career, Lerman exhibited widely and earned recognition for bringing a modern, energetic sensibility to traditional maritime subjects.
