I consider myself an expanding artist because we are always transforming. My work walks with me and changes with me.
“I believe in the kindness of humanity. I believe that our diversity is what makes this world interesting. I consider myself an expanding artist because I believe we are always transforming. My work walks with me and changes with me. In my art, I represent that trajectory through my Series Walkers, they are searchers of beautiful emotions; they are travelers of the universe and the world. They are catchers of dreams; they are explorers of aspirations, searchers of unity, and freedom. Asking always who are we? Where are we going? What are we looking for? What do we want? Who do we love? In my paintings, I am trying to transport you to those places of my imagination where we often find ourselves. I want to touch your soul, open your heart, and invite you to walk with me.” ~LETA
