Lela has been an artist all her life. She has worked as an artist and in film. Currently she expresses her creativity through painting, metal smithing, and poetry. She designs and makes jewelry accompanied by her poetry, as well as cast paper and mixed media wall hangings, and a book of her poetry, “I Hear Your Name”. She is represented in fine galleries throughout North America and in Europe.

As a young woman she embarked upon a quest to find what was important to her. She was fortunate enough to live on wonderful land by a bay near a forest and learned first hand from the land about Earth’s Spirit and how we are all connected. She shares her love of Nature, Earth life and the awareness of our interconnections.

In her work she tries to heal separations, integrate the personal, political, spiritual and planetary selves into a holistic vision. She celebrates a love of Earth and Earthlife. Many people are touched by her work and integrate it with their own lives and experience. For Lela this communication completes the circle.
