About Me

Hi, I’m Leah — a portrait artist with a Fine Art degree in Sculpture.

My background in sculpture trained my eye to understand form, light, and depth, which now shapes the way I create hand-drawn charcoal portraits of people and pets and other subjects.

Art, to me, is a way of honoring life’s most precious bonds — and I would be honored to tell your story through my work.

Each piece is crafted with care, ensuring a keepsake that will be cherished for generations.
