The Lioudmila II

Lioudmila was a professional musician and jazz singer. Throughout her career, she toured with a jazz ensemble in the Soviet Union. In 2018, Lioudmila started coming to JASA. One of her friends told her about the art class, which featured watercolor painting. She had never painted before coming to JASA. In her artwork, Lioudmila uses her collection of catalogs, books, and art books to draw inspiration from. “I try to duplicate and add on to things that I see. It saves me from just sitting and watching in the corner." Lioudmila's favorite part about coming to the art classes is the communication with friends and learning different ways to continue her artwork.
