LEEANNA YATER has been creating art since childhood. Both her parents, being artists themselves, encouraged and supported all of her creative endeavors. LeeAnna began her professional art career as a weaver in 1985. She eventually evolved to "fiber paintings”. The images she chooses for her artwork are a reflection of personal experiences, usually memories of childhood and dreams. However, LeeAnna enjoys the challenge of creating artwork for any one who may want a piece narrating their life and/or interests. The education and years of experience as an artist and designer have allowed her to be open to and challenged by various unique projects that have come her way.
