Artist & Instructor
Meet Lea
Helping people discover the joy of creating by learning to truly see.
My journey as an artist began with a simple belief: learning to draw and paint starts with learning how to truly see.
Over the years, I have taught students of all ages and abilities, from complete beginners to experienced artists looking to develop their skills. One of the most rewarding parts of teaching is watching someone discover they are capable of more than they imagined.
Whether I'm guiding a private lesson, hosting a Paint Your Pet experience, or leading a creative event, my goal is to create a welcoming environment where people feel comfortable exploring their creativity without fear of judgment.
I believe art is not about perfection. It's about observation, expression, confidence, and connection. Every painting tells a story, and every student brings a unique perspective to the creative process.
When I first came to Colorado as an eight-year-old girl, I knew this place would someday be home. Years later, that dream became reality. Today, I draw inspiration from the beauty of the Roaring Fork Valley and enjoy sharing that inspiration through art experiences that bring people together, encourage creativity, and create lasting memories.
Living in the Roaring Fork Valley has provided endless inspiration through its landscapes, wildlife, and vibrant community. I enjoy sharing that inspiration with others through experiences that bring people together and create lasting memories.
