Artist Bio: Leah Grant

Leah Grant is an emerging artist originally from Geelong, currently based in Adelaide. She explores the textures and colours of various mediums, focusing most recently with photography, ink, gouache and resin. Her approach is energetic yet emanates a peaceful, reflective mood. 

Drawing on her own life experiences, relationships and emotions, Leah produces work that she intends to challenge others with. Her work encourages a slower pace, to allow room to breathe, reconsider ideas and see a new beauty within.
