How do I know when to quit? Following your Passion was not meant to be easy
Me by my paintings at Joyería Oroitalia in Costa del Este, Panamá. We have a dream, a passion we want to pursue. But things get harder and harder and then what? Was it supposed to happen? Was it all in my mind? How do we know when to quit? I actually have quit several times, lol. It has been a hard road but what was my alternative? To just forget about it? I couldn't because I love to paint. I think that things changed for me the moment that I was so down, but just the tho

The Purpose of My Art
"La Flor #73" from "La Flor 250 Series" Hi my loves! Everyday I learn more and more about my life mission and I've come to realize that my flowers, amongst other things, serve important two purposes besides adding beauty and art to my art collectors' homes. The first purpose is that they help women recognize their own beauty reflected back to them. The second is that they serve as a metaphor: I believe that when women that are on a personal realization path look at the flo

What colors are you into lately?: The Healing Power of Color and Light
Leanne posing by her colorful healing Art. WHAT COLOR ARE YOU INTO LATELY?! I came across an artist that teaches about the healing power of colors and light (Leanne Venier). I always suspected that connection was real but now there is scientific proof! This is very exciting for me because I've noticed that my art collectors are drawn to my work due to my use of color and now I know why! I had a feeling that we crave certain colors depending on what we need emotionally and Lea

Art Jewelry, my other passion
Designing and making art jewelry turned out to be a natural transition for me. Little did I know that I wasn't the only visual artist to do so. I recently found out that Picasso and Dalí are amongst the most known artists to work on this art form besides painting. It makes sense since, as painters, we like to envision something and then work with our hands to bring it to life. The real thrill for us is the journey that it takes to go from fantasy to reality. Jewelry is j

We all have something to give
I believe that when we embrace and celebrate who we really are and what we really love, we flourish and become the best version of ourselves. I seek to create art that inspires and encourages women to look inwards and have the courage to awaken the hidden greatness that we all have inside but are afraid to acknowledge for fear of failure or criticism. We are all flowers with a soul waiting to bloom. #panama #flowers #soul #art #floralart #believeinyou #followyourdreams

Back into the swing of things
Love this picture of me because it reminds me of a specific moment in time when I was feeling truly blessed. I was in Panama on my way to an exhibit of my flowers. Just being in Panama makes me feel so happy and blessed. I recently took a month or so off from art and everything that comes with it to spend time with my kids during their Summer vacation. They are back in school and I am ready once again to get back into the swing of things. My art is something else that mak
