Vendor Biography

I’ve been making some form of Art my entire life from carving pumpkins as a youth to mural painting. Early on in my adult life I taught myself how to decorate cakes and won State competitions for my work for many years. I’ve also done some sewing making bridal gowns, banners and  dolls along the way. My grandfather was very artistic and I guess I draw my creativity from him. Not until 2010 did I come back to Oil painting where I spend all my time creating art. I am self taught with no formal training and enjoy teaching others what I have found works for me. I find painting takes me away to a quite place that the cares of the world disappear. Although I have done portraits and animals  I find my real inspiration comes mostly in  the way of nature weather in wildlife or scenery with a love for all colors.

I hope you enjoy my paintings as much as like creating them,  Lezlie
