Since the launch of my site I have been deluged with emails and positive response to my art. As an artist, this is very encouraging, so thank you very much for your feedback! There are two questions that stand out in the many emails I have received and I will address those questions here:
a) Where is your studio currently based?
Currently, my temporary studio is a cramped apartment in Los Angeles which my husband Bruce and I share with a mountain of boxes, suitcases, travel gear and art materials. By the end of the month we will head out on our cross-country tour - Across the USA from the Eyes of an Artist. We will be traveling from LA to NYC and the studio will be “on the road...”
Thankfully, we are so busy with the website launch that it takes our minds off the nightmarish fact that we can only cram about 10% of our “stuff” into our VW Passat Wagon. Yikes! Maybe it’s time for a yard sale.
b) Where will you be permanently located?
Although we haven’t made a final decision yet, we are leaning toward a permanent location on the east coast. Bruce and I have always wanted to do a scenic, cross-country drive and we decided to take advantage of our upcoming tour to first SEE and EXPERIENCE some of the many beautiful communities in America before deciding on our permanent location.
The real purpose of the tour, however, is to promote and raise money for youth art education. The future of any community, country or continent on this planet depends utterly on its artists and the quantity and quality of the artists and art in the society begins with the education or our children.
As with any reconnaissance tour, though, we won’t be pitching our tent immediately. Following our cross-country adventure, we will spend time with Bruce’s family in Michigan and at the end of October head to New Zealand for a 3-4 month working holiday.
Bruce and I will be re-tracing my original journey through the intoxicatingly beautiful countryside where I first learned to paint many years ago. We will also be seeing family and visiting old friends, and I will paint and do art exhibitions at the same time.
So that’s our immediate agenda. And one of these days, in the not too distant future, we will be holding a real AND virtual grand opening for my new studio and gallery – I will make sure you are all invited!
My motto is Art with a Message. My game is social change through art. Your feedback on this is valuable to me. Contact me by e-mail at leisa@leisacollins.com.
Love,
Leisa
