Gratitude

I’m forever grateful for the following:

Mom and Dad – For buying me endless art supplies while growing up, and for shedding tears of joy when I resumed my artistic pursuits as an adult.

My Uncle Greg – A professional artist and engineer himself, who recognized my early childhood artistic talents and supported my own artistic development. Your artistic talents inspired me.

Mrs. Heitz – My only formal Art Teacher of two years at Central Lee High School in Argyle, Iowa. She expanded my artistic development and supported my dream of a career in Transportation Design.

Michelle Herring – For teaching The Artist’s Way class – virtually during COVID – and leading me on an artistic journey towards spiritual healing, that I never even knew I needed. So helpful. Thank you.

Terry Redlin Art Center in Watertown, SD – What a beautiful place of absolute creative inspiration. Of the multiple times I’ve strolled through, I never cease to be inspired. A special thanks to Julie, Erica and all the staff for your wonderful hospitality and encouraging me to build my online art gallery.

Beeline & Blue – To Mary and the team, who digitally – or maybe magically – transforms all of my original paintings into identical duplicates. Amazing artistry. Thank you.

Katie Pearce @pearcemedia – You took my dream of creating an online art gallery and made it into a reality. Thank you for your patience with my 100+ versions of my logo and building lesreuart.com. It’s beyond what I imagined. I love it!

My Clients - For all of those who have commissioned me to paint something for them, thank you for trusting me with your requests.

My precious wife Pam – For helping me see myself as you always did – an Artist. Your faith, love, and acceptance of me continues to inspire me. Thank you for allowing me to break all of your interior decorating rules by covering my art studio walls with over 25 of my original paintings! I love you!!!

My Creator - Soli Deo Gloria
