Lemoncholy's Studio

My name is kecia deveney and this is Lemoncholy's Studio. Located in beautiful New Jersey (the garden state), I am about 7 minutes from the Jersey shore (Wall Township). I have lived here for 15 years and have spent that time creating an environment that is tranquil, quiet, relaxing and peaceful. It's a bit artsy, bohemian and gypsy-ish at the same time. Over time I have begun teaching in my studio and then inviting guest artists. Small size classes are taught here on site, while bigger classes are taught down the street at a little mom/pop hotel. feel free to email me at keeshagirl4@aol.com if you have any questions.

*please note that updated garden photos can also be seen here!

behind the scenes during art opera

i hosted Ruth Rae and Traci Bautista here at my house during Art Opera. i also had my friend, Jane and another couple, Scott and Taryn of Navel Jelly Studios stay here. it was a packed house, but we had a lot of fun. i enjoyed the camaraderie and it was nice to have so many art people under my roof! it was fun to show off my home and receive such warm praise for my decorating style. One day after teaching, Ruth, Traci and i had lunch, hit some antique stores before heading home. i didn't tell them, but on the way home, i did a slight detour so that i could take these guys by the beach which is quite close to my home. the beaches here in NJ are very pretty and well maintained. When we arrived at the beach, it had gotten very windy and cold and we were all under dressed. but we braved the elements to get out, take pics and put our toes in the water (well, i did not put my feet in the water - i refused!) but it was a lovely way to end the day and i'm glad we ventured out.

after we got back home and had some dinner, traci and ruth were kind enough to autograph their books for me. can't beat your own personal book signing party!
