    I am an artist residing in sunny, warm [humid] florida! My paintings are heavily inspired by nature and its beauty. I work primarily in oil paint, and sometimes watercolor. I prefer to work in a mostly realistic style and occasionally experiment outside of that. I post oil painting time lapses, painting lessons and tutorials, drawings, art tips, and occasionally artist vlogs where I share bits of my life as an artist. Creating art is my greatest passion and I'm thankful for the chance to share it with you. ♥

    Lena, I have been painting for a little over a year now. Started with acrylics but switched over to oils soon after. Your videos were partly "responsible" for the switch. Thank you !! I also use glass out of picture frames for palettes. Because the edges can be irregular and sharp, I always line them with electrical tape.... (I also have a layer of thin styrofoam behind them, making the less fragile). No more cuts in my fingers !! Love your work !!

    Your videos inspired me to pick up a paint brush for the first time in 15 years. It is a very (happily) emotional process for me. SO much has changed in that time with all the media, and I am still trying to sort it all out. But you make it so easy to follow along and your narrative is very instructive. I appreciate you so much, especially in this quarantine time of the very solitary confinement. You are extremely talented as an Artist AND an Art Teacher. Thank you, thank you for sharing your time and talent.
