I am a native daughter who has lived in Sonoma County since the age of 12. Although I’ve had limited “formal” training, in high school I took every art class available and a few night classes at Santa Rosa Junior College. All-consumed by a career in non-profits—I became a workaholic and years flew by. In the spring of 2007, I recognized a gnawing, unsatisfied hunger to paint, and my artist mother—Glen Leotta—happily took the cue, put some painting supplies together, and gave me a nudge…. I was off and painting again (after too many dormant years) and savoring every moment of the process!
Although the process of creating is intensely satisfying, it is even more so when someone enjoys the outcome as thoroughly as the creator enjoyed creating it. I humbly offer the finished products for your pleasure. Art is meant to be seen, and pondered, criticized and shared…and above all…enjoyed!
Painting takes me to a happy, hopeful, peaceful place…away from the sadness and weariness of the world. If you enjoy the end result as much as I enjoyed the process, my mission is fulfilled.
