Leonora De Lange

I am a versatile artist working in various mediums and a wide variety of subject matter. I am also a miniaturist, being a member of MASSA, MPSGS (USA) and HS (UK). I have won several awards for my miniatures at various societies in the USA and in Bangladesh and was a finalist in the Hahnemuhle calendar competition in 2016. I have a B.A Fine Arts degree, and achieved Associateship of the Watercolour Society of South Africa, which unfortunately no longer exists. I am happy to take commissions.
