* about me . . .

Lenna Young Andrews: I am a published mixed media artist/ instructor living in Palma Sola, Florida with my husband Steven Deming and our two cute little terrier-mix dogs that we rescued. Life and art are very intertwined for me. I enjoy having a variety of blogs and websites, love to create with meaning, share, inspire, take photographs, dance, alter books, paint, make layered collages, and also ATCs.

I offer mixed media workshops in person, see here: http://www.creativelenna.com/Classes/classes.htm
Some of my classes are available for purchase online as pdfs, visit: www.alittlecreativespace.com. I also enjoy hosting art swaps that include lessons. View those here: http://creativeswaps.blogspot.com.
Can you tell I love being creative?
Thank you for your interest!

Take the Second Floor challenge

"Every few weeks we will issue a challenge. Your assignment is to take that challenge and make some art. Here's the most important part: at some point you need to "take it to the second floor." What does that mean? It means trying something vastly out of your comfort zone. Doing something that might not work. Experimenting with a crazy idea. It's all about pushing yourself. If it works, awesome. If it doesn't work, awesome! If you want to participate publicly, we'll have a linky list for each challenge . . ." Read more by clicking on the image!

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.
