Portland Artist Leah Faure expresses her love for patterns in contrasting ways. With a strong love for Portland and its beautiful architecture, she is drawn to its industrial areas and quiet neighborhoods. Intricate flower paintings, also echo this pursuit of the pattern. She paints predominantly in oil, interchanging between direct painting and the old master glazing technique.

The process is of great benefit to hone my portrait painting craft. Portraits available even at 6ft apart ..read more
