THE ARTIST:
Leandra Stander
I was born and bred in Benoni on the East Rand, South Africa. At a younger age, I did some paintings in Watercolors as a hobby, but stopped doing it as I got married and brought up my children. There were just no more time for any hobbies.
I now live in Villiers, which is a small country town in the Free State of South Africa with the Vaal River running on the border of the town. I have started painting again only about a year ago, first in Acrylic and then moved to Oil Medium. I paint any subject except faces but love doing small fishermen cottages. I find that Oil is a very forgiving medium. At the moment my painting is still a hobby as I am working full time as a bookkeeper to put food on the table, but I would love to do it full time as it is very therapeutic to me.
I paint under the name of “Ariéla” which is the Hebrew translation of my birth name and means “Lioness of God”.
