Leandra shares about her transformative experience at Penland School of Crafts, her exploration of graphic design at Kent State University, and how the chance discovery of sandblasting eventually led her to follow her heart into the craft market. Leandra's story serves as a reminder of how following our passions can open paths we never expected.
Leandra takes us a step further into her world as she delves into the rich artistic legacy of her family and how it has profoundly shaped her work. From the sculptures and paintings of her grandfather to the mechanical inventions of her father, creativity clearly runs deep in her bloodline. Leandra also emphasizes the importance of self-sufficiency, a trait she proudly carries from her family, and the value she places on community art projects. Listen as she recounts the joy she experienced while creating the Light Up Lantern Festival, where performance and art harmoniously merged.
