Hello!
MY NAME IS LEAH
I’m an Irish artist based in Dublin, creating vibrant abstract artworks with acrylic paint on canvas. Growing up between the Dublin Mountains and the sea has left a lasting mark on me and my work, with the colours and textures often reflecting the natural beauty of my surroundings. My creative process is intuitive and experimental—I love playing with different paint consistencies and techniques to see where they take me.
Although I’ve always loved art, it was during the COVID-19 lockdowns that I really started painting as a way to process emotions and express myself. That experience deepened my passion for the connection between creativity and mental wellbeing, something I carry with me in everything I create.
I also hold an MSc in Art Psychotherapy, and my work as a psychotherapist has given me a deep appreciation for the healing power of creativity. There are strong parallels between my art and my therapeutic work—both are about valuing the process as much as the outcome. Painting allows me to express myself authentically, and it’s incredibly rewarding when my work becomes part of someone else’s life or home.
