Meet the Teacher: Leanne Daquino
I didn’t pick up a paintbrush until I was 52, and I know what it feels like to think “I’m not creative.” But since then, I’ve taught thousands of people how to rediscover their creativity through playful printing and collage.
My work has been shown in exhibitions and galleries, but what I love most is helping beginners make their very first print — and seeing their faces light up when they do.
