Leah is a Melbourne/Naam-based artist who started painting later in life, after first pursuing a career in finance. Her figurative artworks explore the portrayal of womanhood in popular culture through a feminist lens. In addition to painting women and raising humans, she sometimes finds time to write. Her artwork has been shortlisted for many prestigious Australian art awards, including the 2026 Omnia Art Prize which opens 22 May 2026 at St Kevins’ College.
