Artist Lara Berch - Learn to DIY online

I received an email from Lara Berch this morning, an artist who has just started an online tutorial website for art and painting techniques. I was intrigued, so I went to check it out. Lara is like many of us who thought it would be "the right thing to do" to get a degree in something "practical", like accounting or finance, only to discover that it made us a little bit suicidal. (Me....I got a business admin. degree..sheesh! Although I must admit it has come in very handy since becoming a designer.) The switch to the creative fields was a welcome relief. Lara resides in NYC and is living her dream of creativity and helping to save the environment, both pursuits that I am 100% behind.

Here are a couple of Lara's creations:

AND I think it would be so fun to try out her techniques! Perhaps you have had that chair in the attic that you just needed to do a little something with before putting it in the living room. Or you just needed that last art piece for the powder room to make it complete. Lara's tutorials are just a click away:
