Leanne’s painting style can be described as interpretive and contemporary, and her works range from contemporary realism through to abstract. She works in mixed media., using an array of art materials including inks, acrylic paints, oil sticks, charcoal and graphite.

Over the past 17 years Leanne has successfully exhibited in galleries and group exhibitions throughout the Southern Highlands, Blue Mountains, South Coast and Sydney Region.

She is a member of the Artists of the Round Yard, a group of artists who exhibit at The National Trust Property Retford Park, which was home to the late James Fairfax.

Her first solo show was held in 2016 at 10 Thousand Paces Gallery. She has appeared as a guest artist at the BDCU Children’s Foundation Long Lunch in 2017 & 2018 and the Plants Exhibition of Foundation & Friends of Royal Botanic Gardens Sydney in 2020.

The beautiful countryside and lifestyle of the Southern Highlands, South Coast of New South Wales, Snowy & Blue Mountains, Italy and New Zealand have inspired many works, which are featured in many private collections throughout Australia and overseas.

Sustainability

Leanne has a special interest in climate change, sustainable practice in agriculture as the Earth's temperature warms, work/life balance, and making a personal difference by creating conversation around these topics within her artistic practices. She focuses on the micro detail to help understand what is really happening in the larger story.

"I am very conscious that the health of our planet has been negatively impacted by the burning of fossil fuels from the time of the industrial revolution, but more particularly within the span of my own lifetime. While deforestation, industrial agriculture, and many other manipulations to our environment have made lifestyle and food availability easier for humans right now, we have begun to see rapid changes to our climate - fire, flood and extreme weather events. The Earth needs to rebalance and we are starting to see the cost. We need to act now to make changes before it is too late for life on Earth as we know it. Every small or large positive action for change is a step in the right direction."
