Digital/Anolog Collage
Bio: Leanna L. is a mixed-media artist inspired by folk art, nature, and her upbringing in rural upstate New York. Working in collage, painting, and recycled materials, she creates colorful, symbolic artwork exploring themes of transformation and personal growth. Her work has been exhibited in local galleries and includes a large symbolic collage created for Dayton's Art in the City to represent the International Peace Museum. Â
Artist Statement: My work is inspired by the natural world, folk art traditions, and the landscapes of rural upstate New York where I spent much of my childhood. Memories of gardens, forests, wildlife, and quiet moments outdoors continue to shape the imagery and themes that appear throughout my art.
Working primarily in mixed media, collage, and painting, I am drawn to symbolism and visual storytelling. Flowers, birds, and other natural elements often serve as metaphors for transformation, healing, resilience, and the ongoing journey of self-discovery. Through bright colors, layered textures, and found materials, I create work that celebrates growth, hope, and the beauty that can emerge from life's challenges.
