Hello!
I'm Lena Connolly—an artist, river guide, gardener, coffee fiend, and long walk lover. I’m originally from Burlington, Vermont but am currently based in Missoula, Montana. As the seasons shift, I assume the role of a river guide, navigating the currents of Idaho's beautiful Salmon and Snake Rivers.
For as long as I can remember, art has been a constant companion, growing and evolving alongside me. My academic journey led me to attain a degree in Environmental Studies and Studio Art from the University of Vermont. Here, I delved into many artistic mediums, primarily exploring how art can transcend conventional communication.
My current focus is creating whimsical and functional ceramics for everyday use. My artistic pursuits span from clay to canvas to the digital realm. Among the treasures of my creative toolkit, watercolors, acrylics, and the world of ceramics surface design stand out. My forte lies in my proficiency across numerous mediums, a facet that lends my portfolio a rich tapestry of diversity.
I hope you enjoy exploring my art. Your visit is truly appreciated!
