I'm LeeAnn, the watercolor artist behind HuArt Art & Design.

I love painting with watercolor and with it, exploring an array of subjects. You'll find many different watercolor elements and subjects here. From Trout to wildflowers, Birch trees to beach scenes, to the North Shore or my backyard...I find inspiration all around me. 

Way back when, when I was in college I had dreams of becoming an elementary art teacher. So I took all the classes. Then, I had dreams of becoming a graphic designer. So I took all the classes. Then, I had dreams of owning my own art instruction studio and teaching all of the art to all the people. So I took more classes. Then, I had babies. And so all of "My" paint brushes, pencils, sketchbooks, and all the things got packed away and I filled the spaces and time with kids art supplies. That's how it goes sometimes right?

I dibble dabbled here and there throughout the years and then watercolor came back into my life and the rest is history really. I took a few local watercolor classes to dip my toes back into the water and I've been painting with watercolor, almost daily since.

And so here we are. I'm sharing my art here, on social media, at local art markets and I'm sharing my experiences by teaching local beginners watercolor classes. It kinda came full circle didn't it?

I have immense gratitude that I'm able to share my art, teach and bring watercolor to those who haven't yet experienced it, and that I have such an incredible family, group of friends, students and followers who have helped in supporting me along the way. Truly grateful. I've been having SO much fun getting to meet new watercolor lovers and the classes have been a blast!

I'm so happy you landed here. Take a look around, let me know if I can help you choose a piece of art, create a custom commission for you, or plan a watercolor class for you. 

All the best,

LeeAnn
