BIO

B. 1980

As an artist, I love working with bright, warm colours and tones, the hot sun, and the sand while walking on some random beach. Who doesn’t? I’m guessing some people will say they love the cold…not me, though!

My work revolves around happiness and love.  I love working while my music is in. the background. Starting with a black background in Illustrator I draw odd-looking curvy shapes and blend tints of colour. Sometimes, it’s easy, and other times it's frustrating, but in the end, I’m happy and move on to the next step.  Open up Photoshop and balance the shadows and light tones. By this time my music is blaring loud and clear, ( I’m a 90’s girl, so most of the music is grunge and pop music).

Leigh is based in Toronto, ON, Canada.
