Artist-in-Residence Opening: Leona Zachery
Join us in welcoming our newest Artist-in-Residence, Leona Zachery!
—
Hi there! I'm Leona--you can also call me Leo.
While I have a degree in Game Design from the University of Utah, art has always been my passion, leading me to explore various forms, from studio art and murals to cake decorating. I particularly enjoy illustrating buildings and natural elements, focusing on intricate details and balanced composition to create visually striking pieces. My motivation comes from exploring the city and celebrating the elements that bring people together.
When I'm not creating art, I enjoy watching horror movies, playing games with friends, and solving jigsaw puzzles.
If you'd like to work together, I'd love to bring your vision to life with a custom artwork!

Leona will be popping up from 5-8pm to sell some art, talk about her art, and do some doodling :)
