    Hello! I’m a visual artist / designer located here in Ohio.  Originally from Toledo and still a frequent visitor with studios in both locations.  I’m interested in meeting new professionals…… Oh wait, wrong website.  HAHA, humor will always be the art form closest to my heart. I like observing the push/pull between what’s considered artistic form and what’s considered everyday object and then transforming those observations physically into my design approach. There is more of my information and work samples within the links provided.  Other than that, thanks for reading this far down and I hope you have the best day! Jason

    Valerie Lesiak
    Designer; Visual Artist: Designer, Illustration, Visual Artist; https://valerie-drake-lesiak.pixels.com
    Although I laughingly state that my art career started in the BC, before computer, my work in illustration evolved into digital illustration where I use a variety of digital techniques including digital brushes that create my whimsical illustrations. The goal of my art is to make the viewer smile. From whimsical illustrated letters of the Alphabet to a variety of subject matter including florals and animals, all my illustrations are intended to uplift the viewer. This in part, comes from my background of designing greeting cards for over 35 years. Because my art is digital, it is printed as giclee prints on canvas using 11 colors in a limited editions. This includes decorative sides to eliminate the cost of framing. Prints are then hand coated with a gel medium to protect the image and stretched on stretcher bars adding a hanging bracket.
