Artist Bio

Leana's art is all about capturing joy and movement, blending her passion for dance with her love of painting. As a self-taught artist working from her home studio in Cornwall, she creates vibrant abstract and semi-abstract seascapes that feel both soothing and alive. Since moving to Cornwall, Leana has deepened her artistic journey through the Porthmeor programme and courses at the renowned St Ives School of Painting.

 

Leana’s work is all about layers, textures, and letting the paint find its own rhythm. Words often weave their way into her pieces, adding another dimension to her expressive style. And just like on a dance floor, you might find her spinning and twirling in the studio as she paints—her way of infusing her art with the freedom and energy she’s always cherished as a professional dancer.  Leana’s driving force is to bring this feel-good energy into your home with her art pieces.

 

Beyond the studio, Leana shares her work through her online shop, offering both original pieces and prints. Her art has been featured in various exhibitions, including a solo show in St Ives earlier this year and a selection for a London gallery exhibition last summer. Later this year, she’s looking forward to being part of a group exhibition at the Crypt Gallery in St Ives, where her dynamic creations will surely continue to captivate and inspire.
