Description

Welcome to my page :o)
My name is Lizzy Leto, from the Netherlands.
I am an artist and a mother of two happy young-adults. And an easy going woman; love to laugh, practice yoga and dance. No problem spending quality time alone as well as being social.
Born and raised amongst animals, I naturally connect with them.

A couple of years ago, my daughter participated in a Work-away project which inspired me to join this community as well.
As a result I’ve been travelling as a Workawayer in Africa and Europe, making many murals in several countries.

I do other work besides murals. In Tanzania I was asked to socialize a young dog, which was a wonderful experience. In Uganda and South Africa I’ve been teaching children. In Puglia ( Italy) I became part of a community that produces wonderful food: helping out with pruning, harvest, weeding etc.
In The Netherlands I’ve worked as a creative therapist in health care for the last fifteen years.

The Workaway method suits me: being part of a host's inspired plan.. It has given me, besides working together, some good times with hosts and their circle; walking, talking, exchanging, learning, cooking, eating, taking a little time for each other.

As a professional artist I make murals. As well as outdoor mosaics and illustrations for web sites and books.
See the paintings in my photo folder. The last four photo’s showcase murals for children.

What else ...

I like to work with animals, and with my hands; maintenance, garden, and of course art projects in paint (murals) or tiles (mosaics). Or online on your website to help out. The last decades I prepared a lot of family food as a mom, and therefore am not really interested in a regular place the kitchen, other than making a group contribution like cooking, shopping and cleaning like every body else in the household.
