artist. yogi. healer. Lenore is an innovative young artist who works with a wide variety of mediums, from textiles, to printmaking, painting to natural medicine. Her passion lies within the arts. The art of science and the art of creation. She uses her talents as a form of creative expression, to help herself and others release themselves from barriers created by fear, by society and self-judgment. She feels her purpose is to interact in society using nature, art, and movement as a form of communication and healing. Lenore utilizes many different natural techniques, trying to bring her art closer to Mother Nature, to the source. She is very focused on the preservation of traditional crafts, fair-trade, and the healing power of nature. Lenore plans on dedicating her efforts to bring more light and justice to these areas, while enhancing her skills to be able to spread the knowledge. Lenore studied Apparel Design and Fine Arts at Oregon State University and AIU-London. During this time she interned at Chanel Inc, NYC and Alex Gore Browne Knitwear Designs, London. After she graduated, she was invited to participate in Portland Fashion Week and then moved onto Kripalu Yoga and Health Center in Lenox Massachusetts to deepen her knowledge and appreciation of yoga. Here she was deeply engaged in community living, and selfless service, as well as obtaining her 200hr. yoga teacher training certificate. Lenore then decided to follow her curiosity of different cultures and traditional crafts to Asia, where she studied Batik in Indonesia, massage inThailand, and Yoga in Northern India. During this venture into the unknown she widened her worldly perception and dove deep into the depths of herself. Her days consisted of creative exploration and conscious cultivation of herself. She has been an active member of Omega Institute for the past three years, attending as Artist-in Residence and volunteer. She humbly resides in Portland Oregon where she teaches with yoga, volunteers with Street Yoga, creates Art, and grows a fabulous garden. She is currently a student of Natural Medicine at the National College of Nature Medicine, totally engulfed in a four year Naturopathic degree, with a focus on physical medicine. She hopes to bring together her passions of nature, art, yoga and health into a holistic and comprehensive form of health care!
May the peace and love that is cultivated within our hearts and actions bring more peace and love into the universe…
