Welcome to JAL Studios

My name is Judy Leasure. I am an artist and teacher working primarily in colored pencil and graphite.

I live in Western Pennsylvania with my husband and my Lakeland Terrier, Windy.

I have enjoyed doing creative things ever since I was a child. I have been painting seriously for about 15 years.

I started painting in watercolor and then began doing decorative painting in acrylics. In 2008, I started working with colored pencils and that quickly became my passion.

I teach classes in my home and at conferences and conventions. I taught at the 2008 MAD conference in the Poconos. I also teach in the non-credit program at Clarion University-Venango Campus.

My work is exhibited in local galleries and has appeared in the Annual Miniature show in Chambersburg, PA, and the Seaside Art Gallery Miniature show in Nags Head.

One of my specialties is custom pet portraits.

Thank you for visiting my website. I hope that you will enjoy my work.
