Leah Simone is a local Vancouver artist who creates original abstract intuitive pieces out of her Eastside studio in the Eastside Atelier building at 1310 William Street. Known for her love of vibrant, bold colors and her mastery of various mediums like acrylic paints, resin, gold leaf, pencil, and pastel, Leah’s artwork is a true celebration of creativity.
While she predominantly paints large wall art, Leah currently offers a collection of one-of-a-kind smaller original works on wood panel and canvas, as well as a select variety of fine art prints. These unique pieces make for thoughtful and memorable gifts this holiday season. Leah’s cheerful and vibrant art brings a pop of color to any space, making it the perfect addition to your loved ones' homes.
