Welcome to Lerayjess Designs.  Here you will find a gallery of fine art paintings created by Jessica DeHaemer, who signs her work as JSLDeHaemer.  A painter for many years, she works primarily in watercolor, acrylic, and oil pastel.  Some of her artworks are abstracts inspired by the natural world, and her main subjects for these are floral and nautical.  Some have been described as having a translucent, stained-glass feel to them. 

Featured in this gallery are examples of what DeHaemer calls "abstract emotionalism" - the portraying of complex emotions through abstracted faces.  She is focusing her work in this direction, and is busy in her studio painting many more.  Check back often to see new works!

DeHaemer has begun making ACEOs, mini size art cards!  These are small original artworks the size of trading cards - very popular and highly collectable.   See www.aceomarket.com for these treasures, as well as www.lerayjessdesigns.etsy.com for a selection of art and art cards.

Coming events:  stART on the Street 2008!  This will be our third showing at stART, and we have many new paintings, art cards (aceos), and books n' zines.
