Artist statement: I take risks, I try to create rather than duplicate. In my art, I aim to express a feeling or a mood of the object more than an exact picture. 814-777-8532 email: lena@lenathynellwatercolor.com website: www.lenathynellwatercolor.com Facebook: www.facebook.com/lenathynellwatercolor
