Desert tree Drawing

Born in 1980 and raised in Florida, and currently living and working in Phoenix, Arizona. Leilani gravitated toward art at an early age, often found daydreaming with a pencil and paper. It wasn’t until a series of life events darkened her spirits that she succumbed to the voice of creative beauty and her unique style became evident. Turning to a paint brush her soul was reawakened. Leilani rediscovered her passion and talent and has been freely releasing and evolving her artistic soul in the form of abstract paintings and drawings. Inspired by human emotion, the viewer can often feel the tragedy, pain, heartache, passion, love, and loss. That connection of authenticity is what continues to motivate her art. “Through art, my soul is set free.” “My technique involves releasing whatever feeling, emotion, fear, insecurity, obsession that has consumed me and letting my brush take over; just being present… the painting evolves as it is meant to, without force.”
