Spring is a very busy time of year! The warmer weather means more outdoor events, outdoor painting, exploring nature and fresh starts. Most of my calendar for the upcoming months is ready to share. I hope to see you at one of these upcoming events. I post my most frequent updates on Instagram (@lsjart). Want to suggest an event, class idea or something else? Contact me and let’s chat.
