Lentonia Monique is an artist who pulls from her study of drafting to create geometrical and symmetrical paintings. “I recalled how much I loved my days in drafting classes. Once I began using them solely for my A Fly Line creations at a much larger scale and felt such enjoyment doing so, I knew it would be my chosen method to stick with,” she explains.
Lentonia first became interested in art at a very early age. She remembers as a child loving her new crayons, markers, and coloring pencils. “If I had a coloring book or construction paper, I was good. Also, growing up, art class was always one of my favorites to attend,” she recalls.
She hopes her audience will “catch some awe with A Fly Line creation.” She does exactly that by using her creativity along with specific tools that include Level 3 canvases, a yard stick, pencil, a Pentel Hi polymer eraser, and a Prismacolor Art marker. “My favorite paints have been acrylics from FolkArt, DecoArt Americana, Master’s Touch, Liquitex, and craftsmart multi surface. My favorite paintbrushes are Pro Crafter’s Choice,” she says.
Lentonia will continue to exhibit and sell her art at various events throughout the U.S. She is currently making appearances in multiple cities with A Spectacular Black Girl Art Show and Pancakes & Booze Art Show. “I am also really looking forward to returning to Artsplosure this year in Raleigh, NC, she adds.
