Meet Leanne...

Leanne Daquino

Instructor

I’m Leanne, a mixed media artist from Melbourne, Australia, who rediscovered her passion for all things creative only a couple of years ago. For the last twenty-five years, I have been working as a teacher and more recently as a Deputy Principal in a beautiful primary school. Education has always been a very important part of my life. I just love encouraging curiosity and the pursuit of what makes us feel alive. Gelli plate printing and collage are my favorite art forms. I love the spontaneity and unique, one-of-a-kind beauty that Gelli printing produces. It's easy to fall in love with the process and techniques I teach in this class. You'll be excited and inspired to create more once you see the vibrant prints and intricate collages come to life in front of your eyes.
