Mixed media is a term that perfectly describes Leisa Watkins’ artistic talents. She began her artistic career over thirteen years ago, when she began designing scrapbook packages, designing and selling her creations in boutiques, and teaching tole-painting, floral arranging, and other art forms. Several years ago she began focusing most of her attention on paper arts and mixed media. “Mixed media allows me to use all of the things I learned in my other artistic endeavors and combine them in fun and interesting ways,” Leisa explains.

As much as Leisa loves to spend time in the studio creating she is more passionate about teaching. She has taught classes in various mediums for over ten years. She receives great satisfaction from helping others create and begin to recognize within themselves some of the creativity she believes everyone possesses. Leisa is known for her ability to teach many mediums in a fun, exciting, and easy to understand way.

Leisa resides in a Salt Lake City suburb with her husband and three young children. She is the owner of Kindred Kids, a company that specializes in unique products for vintage style scrapbooks, stamping arts, and book arts. When she is not creating, or running a business, she keeps busy educating her children at home, or volunteering in the community.  She serves on the 4-H Leaders Counsel and is over the Communications & Expressive Arts programs for her county.
