artist extraordinaire: lena quagliato

Probably because I have absolutely no artistic talent of my own (I’m that guy who can barely draw a stick figure) I have always been intrigued by those who do.  The first time I remember seeing Lena’s artwork was shortly after she and her family moved here from Colorado — about a decade ago.  It was not surprising when shortly thereafter, one of our local feed stores commissioned her to paint a mural on their wall (HERE).  It seems that since that time, Leena not only got an art degree, but has been honing her skills doing a wide variety of work, including portraits.  If you have ever seen Pawn Stars on the History Channel, you will recognize The Old Man, Rick, and Corey above.  They commissioned Lena to paint portraits of all of them for the show.  To see more of Lena’s artwork, take a moment to check out HER SITE.  Incredible work Leena.  I wish you the best in your endeavors.
