Leanne Laine,
born in the Philippines and raised in Canada,
is an expressionist whose art is described
to celebrate traditional subjects with a
free-spirited, rebellious twist. Since 2003,
numerous art pieces of Leanne’s works
have been sold to private and corporate
collectors worldwide, as is very proud and
honoured to have some of her works residing
in Stonehedge Inn and Spa. Currently she
has two art galleries in Florida and has
plans for more in the near future.
Leanne displays the concept of color more
so than the subject matter itself, which
vary for her love of the beauty in still-life
wines, cocktails, floral potteries, landscapes,
seascapes and abstract figures. Her combination
of bold and neutral colors in play with
rough acrylic strokes, providing plenty
of texture to the touch give a sense of
striking composition and urban appeal most
suitable for the modern art enthusiast and
contemporary space.
“Creating art is like a dance for
me. When dancing, your body is stimulated
by the rhythm of music. When I paint, my
eyes are stimulated by the power of what
we take for granted in our daily surroundings
-- color. I work to stimulate the visual
senses by greatly enhancing colors, shapes,
light, shadow, still-life and motion. I
believe that art should have no boundaries
or limitations. Imagination is such a powerful
tool and I encourage it through my pieces
in hopes that the viewer will be able to
encourage their imagination and free it
to unlimited depths as well.”
