about me

Lenna Young Andrews: I'm a published mixed-media artist instructor living in Palma Sola, Florida with my husband Steven Deming and our two cute terrier-mix rescue dogs. Life and art are very intertwined for me and I enjoy having a variety of blogs and websites. I love to create with meaning, share and inspire, take photographs, dance, alter books, make layered collages and ATCs. I offer mixed media workshops online:www.alittlecreativespace.com and host creative art exchanges/art swaps that include lessons.
View the beautiful swap results OR join in yourself by visiting http://creativeswaps.blogspot.com.
I'm also creating art for sale which will be listed at etsy, along with fabulous collage packs. I love being creative! View my creative lenna blog here:
http://creativelenna.blogspot.com/ and my original website here: http://www.creativelenna.com/.
Thank you for your interest in my creative pursuits! lenna

Art is a calling. Every creation reveals something more about the universe and about the artist. Artists have two responsibilities. The first is to express themselves. The second is to communicate.
