BIO

B. 1980

When I was young, I thought I could be an Architect. Not because of the career or the money, it was the fact you get to draw houses! 

I started drawing luxury homes from magazines like Architectural Digest.. sadly I found out Architects worked with math and science, two subjects I hated. 

That was the end of that career. 

I attended an art school for three years but didn’t learn about Photoshop until many years later while attending a one-year program. I found out I was good at it.  I was introduced to creating new styles, access to hex colours and deleting layers!

From there, I showed in group art shows including outdoor art shows. 

After all these years I’m still an Artist, thank goodness. Instead of waiting for the paint to dry, I push ‘delete’ and it’s gone.

Leigh is based in Toronto, ON, Canada.
