Lesley Venable
I am a self taught mixed media, collage, assemblage artist who lives in Roanoke, Virginia with my husband and our furry family which includes three dogs and three cats. I taught at Art Is You in 2008 and have also taught at Art & Soul in both Virginia and Oregon. I am currently scheduled to teach in 2010 at Artiscape in Ohio, Art & Soul Hampton, Lisa LaRosa’s Inspirational Retreat in California, KC Willis’ Art Studio in Colorado and here at Art Is You. I also have online classes scheduled at My Creative Classroom and have begun “The Art of Altering”, a NING group, that offers free vintage images as well as online classes (upcoming).
In addition to the above teach venues I will also be vending at Art Opera in New Jersey and Art Unraveled in Arizona. My artwork has been published in the Artitude Zine, Somerset Gallery 2008 and Somerset Weddings 4. I am a co-author of “Exploring the Latest Trends in Mixed Media Arts Volume I” and a contributing artist in Volume II. I get great satisfaction in promoting other artists and devote much of my blog (www.flatwoodsfolkart.typepad.com) to this endeavor.
I am a lover of all things vintage which is evidenced by the colors and textures I use in my altered creations. To view more of my works please visit my Flickr photo stream at http://www.flickr.com/photos/flatwoodsfolkart/ Website: www.flatwoodsfolkart.com
