PAINTINGS

Lyla Vevoda

Lyla majored in art during high school.  Years later, her daughter gifted Lyla a large stash of studio supplies, which awakened her passion for painting.  Numerous artist workshops sharpened her skills and she has now been a popular artist at the Valley Art Gallery for 6 years.

Many artists consider painting a difficult process, but Lyla paints to relax.

In addition to the usual ways artists find inspiration, Lyla frequently visualizes subjects by reading.  Whether it’s an article or a novel, compelling images present themselves, or they prompt further research into artistic subjects.  Her subjects are diverse, but she enjoys the challenge of doing still life scenes that include difficult-to-paint lace and/or silver objects. 

Other hobbies include cooking for special occasions and special unusual projects.
