PROGRAM:  Introduced by John Holehouse, Speaker Yuliya Lennon:
 
Yuliya Lennon spoke of her work as a Portrait Artist, and Primarily of her Portrait of Richard Hammond of Top Gear in the U.K.
 
She gave the same Presentation to the Lord Mayor of London 18 Months ago.  She also did some work on the U.K. Grand Tour Show.  Yuliya has worked on Rotary Projects in the U.K., and India.  She is was a member of the Reading Madim Erlegh club in the U.K.
 
The Portrait of Richard Hammond was a gift to him, It was a life size portrait, which began as a faceless portrait in Russia, them had the details completed in Italy, and finally to the U.K., based on an approved sketch, and used a limited amount of colors. Yuliya moved to Santa Barbara on June 30, of last year with her husband and two twin daughters who are 2 years of age.  She likes the period of early 1900’s in Russia for her portraits, and has a gallery across from the Granada on State Street.
