Dr. LeFebvre earned her Bachelor of Science in Psychology and Fine Arts from Central Michigan University.  She received both her Master's in Psychology and her doctorate in Rhetoric and Communication from the University of Oregon.  Edith is a tenured professor at California State University Sacramento, and an adjunct professor at Folsom Lake College. 

Painting and music are family traditions, as her grandfather was a portrait artist and she was named after her aunt, a concert pianist.

“Her paintings have often been described as the embodiment of energy through color and movement.”

Edith started painting early in college, then moved across country from Michigan for graduate school in Oregon.  Once hired by California State University Sacramento, settled in Fair Oaks, California, and she continued painting.

Edith is accomplished in writing music; playing guitar, accordion and organ; in carpentry, and in fiber arts such as spinning, dying, knitting, and designing wearable art.  

She has applied her artistic skills in graphic design as well. She managed, designed and created all of the menus, both customer and large wall menu, business cards, logo, and other business elements for her son’s restaurant, Snow's Sub Depot, in Carmichael, CA.

Her paintings have been included in many galleries and art venues throughout the Sacramento region and northern California.  “Evolve” found in the Acrylic section, was published as a finalist in an Abstract Competition for the International Artist Magazine, #142, December 2021-January 2022 issue. Currently, she is working in acrylic, oil, and oil with cold wax.  Edith uses abstract expressionism in her paintings to express metaphors relating to the human condition.
