Originally from New Jersey, Leigh was classically trained in the Hudson River School tradition, painting landscapes in oil outdoors on location (plein air painter). Upon moving to Taos in 1990, Leigh
found that her canvases were becoming more colorful and vibrant as the New Mexican landscape seeped into
her palette and soul. For me, the experience of painting outdoors is wild, exciting, mysterious,
joyful, peaceful, sensual, meditative, ever religious, complete with prayer, quotes Gusterson. Her success continues to grow as her painting life deepens, and attracts the widespread appreciation of collectors nationally and abroad. She has been the recipient of numerous awards, her latest honor;
having had one of her images chosen for the 2003 Taos Fall Arts Festival poster, and having a painting receive Best of Show at that exhibition. |
