My name is Leah Gay and I am passionate about colour, lines and texture.
Becoming a parent in 2015 led me down a path of paying better attention to the little details around us that are beautiful and taken for granted in our lives. The things we just know, see everyday or just plain ignore. My attention flirts from the threads of a common native flower, the light upon Moreton Bay at sunset or a striking line of the human form. Currently I am exploring local landscapes through colour and texture.
I paint on both canvas and paper and love mixing a variety of mediums together that invite you to want to reach out and touch the artwork.
I have participated in a number of local group exhibitions in Brisbane. In 2019 I won the People’s Choice award for the 40th Rotary Art Spectacular Brisbane and the 7th Annual Community 4017 Art Show.
My paintings can be found in private collections around the world including Australia, Canada, Norway, Sweden, England and the USA.
When I am not creating you will find me juggle family life with a seven year old boy who loves to create as much as his Mum, and working in our family business with my husband. I was born and grew up in Melbourne, but currently live by the water, north of Brisbane, and am constantly delighted by the magical colours and light of the sunsets and rain storms.
