Leslee Fetner is a graduate of Hunter College in New York City and holds a B.A. in art. She also spent a year at the Fashion Institute of Technology.  She studied watercolor and printmaking techniques and has also done sculpture, digital and mixed media work.  Over the last two years Ms. Fetner has been focusing on printmaking which she finds creative and challenging. Her presentation will focus on three printmaking techniques: monotype, linocut and drypoint etching. Website: www.lesleefetnerart.com

There will be time after for questions, discussion and some refreshments. We look forward to seeing you!
