Artist Class is proud to add yet another fabulous artist to the roster - Lesley Venable!
Lesley is a self taught mixed media artist who lives in Virginia with her husband, Tom, and a furry family of six. She’s been published in several of the Somerset Magazines and the Artitude Zine and has taught at Art & Soul in Hampton and Oregon as well at Art-Is-You in Connecticut.
Lesley is currently scheduled to teach at Art & Soul, The Fernery, KC Willis’ Studio Retreats, Artiscape, Lisa LaRosa’s Retreat and Art-Is-You in 2010.
Lesley says, “I love working with all things vintage…the textures, the smell, the colors…they all invoke within me a desire to include them in my art. I am an avid collector of all things old and love finding those beautiful gems to pass on to others through our online shoppe.”
Lesley will show us how she takes a simple book cover and creates a beautiful wall hanging by adding vintage papers, gesso stamping, fluid chalk inking and a tape transfer of a vintage image. The finishing touches include a spattering of crystal glitter and a ribbon or lace for hanging.
