About me
Hi there! I’m Amie Leigh, an artist, photographer, and designer based in Ingersoll, Ontario, Canada. My artistic journey took a profound turn in 2017 when I turned to watercolour as a way to navigate the deep grief of losing a loved one. This medium became my first channel of expressing the inexpressible, washing my sorrows with every stroke.
As the world faced the solitude and shadows of the pandemic, my palette expanded to include acrylics and other vibrant mediums, seeking to introduce colour into what seemed a colourless existence. This period of exploration was not just an evolution in my use of materials but a liberating embrace of intuitive creation.
In my studio, amidst the wide variety of music that move me, I dance with paintbrushes. Inspired by the dramatic and tender crashes of light and darkness on the horizon, my work reflects the hope that even in the darkest of time, there is light. I continually seek to find joy in these contrasts, creating visual experiences that resonate with the vibrancy and resilience of the human spirit.
I’m so glad you’re here!
