Hi and thanks for coming by. I have been really busy uploading my artwork onto Fine Art America and now have my own website since I surpassed the limit for free portfolio galleries.
To know me as a person please visit the INTRODUCTION tab here at WordPress and to know me as an author INSPIRATION~BOOKS and as an artist it is this page with links to my portfolio which is not complete yet and a couple of very short YouTube Videos…
PLEASE CLICK ON THE LINK BELOW TO SEE THE FULL GALLERY OF MY ARTWORK – THANKS!
http://lesley-fletcher.artistwebsites.com/index.html
An example of what can be found in my Galleries.
These are from Inspiration Import – Monoprints.
Please take a minute to have a look at my art portfolio at Fine Arts America. I absolutely love the site and its ease of use. Although it has been quite time consuming the site makes it really smooth to post and categorize art and photography.
I am particularly impressed with the fact a customer can order my work printed on aluminum. Incredible and super installation.
I actually have some pieces that got a little banged up over time but that were scanned or photographed in perfect condition so I have placed some and ready to order myself!
As you will notice by comparing to other artists’ work I keep my prices very low. The reason for this is very simple. It is unlikely that charging 5 or 10 extra dollars will change my life but a piece of art can change someone elses… and that ends up making me happy.
Thanks for coming by – Lesley

Was i going to read something for you? i think I might have mentioned an interest in reading a play you had written–then a fairly serious situation has come up this past week–and i am completely at a loss. Behind on everything…

Thanks very much Mark – Once you load 30 images, it is a requirement in order to load more. My own site will be a bonus once I have everything kick in but as in every other digital nightmare, promoting is the hard part. The good thing is because I am not really doing much artwork right now, I have time to concentrate on writing. See you over there! 🙂
