Portraits by Leila
My portraits and paintings became so popular that I retired early from the state to work art full time.

Portraits & More.....
My specialty pencil & oil portrait Always ‘artsy-crafty’, in 2004 I picked up a pencil drew a portrait of my deceased husband. It was my first portrait, then I drew my son. A friend asked me to do one of her granddaughter. I was on to something! So began Portraits By Leila.

My commissions to paint or draw include children, families, wedding pets homes, beach scenes and people on the beach.
My work is currently on display in M Gallery in Tallahassee and The Waterfront Gallery in Apalachicola.
I have been a featured artist in several shows, received several awards, and won a first prize in an Artists of Apalachicola show for a pencil drawing.
My Facebook page is Portraits By Leila in Tallahassee or Panama City.
In 2016 I began teaching portrait drawing workshops and have held several successful ones in Valdosta and Macon Georgia, Tallahassee, Asheville North Carolina, and Detroit Michigan. I absolutely love it. I look forward to teaching workshops here.
