Charles Leano

Visual Art – Miami

My name is Charles Leano and I am an up and coming artist native to Miami. Art is my life and passion. I began my professional career in 2012, exhibiting my work at ArtWalk in Miami’s Wynwood district and showcasing at multiple RAW Miami events. This year I volunteered my time and passion for the arts at a pre-school in Doral; working on a three-month project where kids would learn about and work with a local artist. I painted with more than 60 kids and created six masterpieces that were each then auctioned at the school’s annual gallery night, producing more than $4,000 in revenue for new supplies and tools at the school. I am currently working with ZOO Miami on a mural project that will span 20 feet and whose profits during auction with benefit the ZOO and its animals. I have a current mural on Broward’s Avenue of the Arts in celebration of equality. I strive to showcase my work all around Miami and the globe. This year I continue to showcase at different popular events all over Miami such as Lincoln Motor\'s \"Hello again MIami\" drive thru gallery which I took part of this year.
