Athena Mantle
Painting

Athena’s artistic journey began as a child who loved to draw.  She studied
perspective and figure drawing from books and often spent her free time sketching
animals and faces from magazines with pencil and paper.  Encouraged by a friend,
she continued her art education at Mission Renaisssance in Los Angeles.  In 1994
she became an art instructor, and began teaching children to draw and paint. In
2004, following the death of her father, she left the school to focus on family.  

Today, painting full-time, she lives in the San Gabriel Mountains with her husband
and three dogs.  While she does bear the famous Mantle name, she did not inherit
the baseball gene but does enjoy biking on the weekends.  In her hillside home,
which she likes to call her tree house, she maintains an array of succulent and
cactus specimens which can be found in her work.
