Winter Cherry Blossom Painting

My name is Leeza Beth. I believe that art should be created with love, then it will find its true admirers. Currently, I reside in California, however my roots originate in Ukraine where I was born in 1980. I spend my time immersed in various hobbies such as traveling, photography and exploring the world. For me the creative process is sacred, so I always paint whilst in a mood, and employ love and pure joy. It’s an absolutely transformative, divine and spiritual moment in time for me - it's my meditation. I believe that my works carry positive energy and people looking at my art will feel it. Ever since my childhood, I've always wished that I could paint and admired those who could. It turns out that if you profoundly love something and have a little patience, with some practice you are capable of creating things you never imagined possible. The vast beauty of our planet fascinates me. Nature gives me peace, harmony and inspiration, therefore I especially enjoy creating landscapes. Ideas about the next subject of my painting simply flow to me. Sometimes inspiration comes to me in the morning when I'm having a cup of coffee and admiring my garden - other times it comes when I'm out and about or even when I'm just in my studio, standing in front of a fresh canvas, I get the feeling to create. Lately, I've been enjoying creating using oils, brushes and palette knives. However, I love to experiment and explore new techniques and styles. Some of my other favorite mediums include acrylics, pastels, pens and charcoal. "Painting is sharing emotions with the world!" I hope that you enjoy my artwork & that it creates a deep and profound connection.
