Hey there!

How are ya? 

I'm Lea Wood, a painter who learned a whole lot of practical skills as a scenic artist working in television, designing scenery for children’s theater, and doing a zillion commercial projects as a freelancer. 

Personal, self-expressive art work was more of a journey-- because even with many studio art classes, I found myself needing to learn key techniques on my own, without a guide.

That's why I created Painterish.
