Another new entrant to Art in the Park next weekend is Lesia Angel. Lesia juried in with TSAA this Spring -
Lesia Angel's love for art began in childhood, when she was given art supplies instead of toys. She attended a Waldorf school while growing up in Maryland near D.C., where creativity was encouraged and nurtured. Summers were later spent in her father's dental lab, while living in Melbourne Florida. She was given wax, plaster molds and tools to enjoy while her dad worked. These early experiences helped spark her lifelong passions for sculpting, design, and handcrafts.
As an adult, Lesia explored many artistic mediums, including bead weaving, wire work, glass bead making and sewing. She was among the early juried artists at Tamarack Marketplace in West Virginia, first recognized for her lamp work jewelry, her glass beads were featured in the art book by Lark Books 1000 Glass Beads. She was also recently accepted as a juried Tamarack artisan for her ceramics. Her work can be found at Tamarack as well as select shops in Charleston.
Lesia is an active participant in regional art events, including Charleston's FestivALL, FesitvFALL, the South Charleston Mound Show, and the Capitol City Art and Craft Show.
She is also developing her first website, where she plans to offer her one-of-a-kind creations for sale. always eager to expand her reach, Lesia continues to seek out new galleries and shops to feature her work.
