Milwaukie First Friday, Private Art Lessons and After School Art Clubs!

 Again, I've been too busy with life to tend to my blog, so here's my attempt to make up for lost time! 

Since my last update, I've been teaching children's art classes, including 3 art camps, at a local children's resale business here in Gladstone called the Cookie Pot. Unfortunately, the space has become unavailable so I've decided to venture out into the elementary school again to pursue my teaching. I'm still working on the deets, but should have more info as to what schools and dates I'll be holding classes. I'm hoping it can be open to all students in the area. 

My students have a blast in these classes and it;s a great time for kids to be creative, improve skills, learn new techniques and gain confidence as an artist. But most importantly, have fun! 




For those that have children who want a more personal, detailed approach to their artistic lessons, I have individual tailored private art lessons available. Ages 5 to 18. Please email me for more details visit my website at leeannegibney.com.


Just a reminder August 4th is First Friday in Milwaukie from 5-8pm! I'll be at my booth right beside Made In Milwaukie on SE Monroe. Come out to support talented artists, live music, food and beer! 

Also, the Gladstone Festival is next weekend and there will be local vendors, music, food and drinks!

Speaking of food and beer, I recently created a logo for a new café opening in Gladstone on Portland Ave called The Brew! They open in the fall and it's definitely going to be worth checking out!

Thanks for taking the time to read this and check in with my whereabouts! I hope to see some of you out there at these events!

New Books Alert!

Life has been very busy but I've managed to keep at it! Besides homeschooling 3 children and being a mother,  I'm still doing private art lessons for children/ young adults and working on the many story ideas I've had for awhile. One includes a mini novel! 

I am proud to announce 2 new additions to the Percy the Panda series, Percy Goes Jurassic and Percy Goes Aquatic! Written by my talented husband, follow Percy through his most amazing adventures yet! 




Back with a brand new look, the re-release of my very first children's book,  I Am Weird! An instant classic for all ages! This book took a hiatus for a couple of years when it was published by Mehta Publishing. I have since lost contact with them, while never receiving a royalty check, I decided to reclaim my personal favorite book.  It is now digitalized and looks better than ever! 



                               I Am Weird


Keep a look out for Percy Goes Jurassic for it takes a few days for that to be available on Amazon!

I still have most of my books and prints available at Made In Milwaukie. They are an amazing group of people running a really cool store for local artists. Stop by if you are ever in downtown Milwaukie! 

Thank you for checking in and have a blessed day! 🌟
