Hawk Over the Salish Sea Painting

It’s a wonder to me that light, movement, feeling, ideas, truth and character can be transformed into a tangible piece of art. If the paintings I create bring recognition and poetic wonder into your life, I'm honoured. I am a portrait artist - of voyagers large and small in an entangled world. I draw inspiration from Cassat, Degas, Morisot, many contemporary masters, nature, literature, dance, music, ceramics, cinematography and printmaking. Raised in rural Ontario with an artistic family, Leigh now paints landscape and life from Vancouver Island, Canada.
