Transform your art with knowledge and inspiration. My mission is to get you started on your creative journey. The World Needs Your Art – Make It Beautiful!

Hello!

I'm Leslie Watkins, I'm a fine artist and designer. I specialize in watercolor painting and papercrafting and I offer art workshops in New England and online. See my Calendar of Events

I go "Live" on Facebook 3 times a week at 12N EST for Marvelous Monday, Watercolor Wednesday and Papercrafting Saturday. You can find hundreds of how-to videos on my YouTube Channel.
I live in rural northwest Connecticut, in a cottage surrounded by gardens, chickens and wildlife. See more about Dandelion Cottage on InstaGram

I've been a professional artist and designer for 30+ years and I love sharing my knowledge. I also enjoy making one of a kind multi-use decorated art journals and both simple and fancy boxes using Stampin' Up!®'s quaility products.
