Studio Del Creador Artist Leo

Artist of the Month: January 2012 

“Leo is always happy.” All whom have had the pleasure of meeting our friend, and first featured ’Artist of the Month’ Leo, would agree with what SDC volunteer Sheadon Ringor says of him.

Leo is our most faithful participant. He began attending Studio Del Creador the week after we opened in January 2009 and has visited us nearly every day since. Over the course of the last three years Leo has made over 200 pieces of artwork and missed only a few days of classes. His favorite material to use for his illustrations is acrylic paint, colored pencil and crayon. Leo enjoys using the most simple and economic of art material, but his investment in technique is what results in stunning high quality images that are full of color and life. He is most known and appreciated for centering his artwork on Biblical scripture, giving all glory to God for his creativity.

Leo is a caring friend to all. Our ministry team leader Bernabe Rodriguez says, “Leo’s sense of cooperation and love for the whole studio community is highly admirable.”

Leo doesn’t have many of the simplest commodities that most of us take for granted every day, but what he does possess is an incredible creative gift from God and a heart full of love, gratitude and worship towards our Lord and God. “Without a doubt, Leo represents the love of God…and His heart for worship is simple and honest,” says Bernabe. Leo is a daily reminder to our studio community of the important things in life. He is one of many that find refuge in Studio Del Creador.
