Self-taught artist named Boerne Art League ‘Artist of the Month’

Lleanna Griffin Brinsmade succinctly describes herself as Texas-born, alumnus of Trinity University, and self-taught.

After retiring from a career in project management she discovered her passion for art, specifically portraits. Her current focus explores a variety of skin tones while capturing the essence of her subjects, allowing their inner joy to shine through.

Her artistic journey came to an abrupt two-year halt due to injuries sustained in a car accident. However, Brinsmade emerged with a profound sense of gratitude for the second chance, considering it a precious gift and a testament of resilience, and the power of creativity to heal and inspire.
