Leanne Christie
"Colour captivates the soul; texture tells the story."
"My paintings reflect the beauty and romance of English gardens and landscapes, brought to life with dazzling texture and shimmering detail."
Leanne Christie is a celebrated artist whose work captures the enchanting beauty of English wildflower meadows, gardens, and landscapes. Born in Warwickshire and now living in Devon, her passion for art was inspired by her mother, a talented artist who introduced Leanne to painting at a young age. Her early lessons in oil painting, particularly the techniques for creating skies and backgrounds, laid the foundation for her signature style.
Over the course of her 20-year career, Leanne has developed a distinctive approach to oil painting, combining rich textures, vibrant transparent colors, and shimmering embellishments. Her work often incorporates glitter, jewels, and metal leaf, giving her paintings a luminous, almost magical quality. This unique style allows her to create dynamic pieces that change with the light, drawing viewers into her ethereal landscapes.
Leanne’s work is deeply influenced by her love of nature and her fascination with light and movement. She sees each painting as an opportunity to channel her emotions, transforming energy—whether positive or negative—into art. Her pieces, which range from flowerscapes to seascapes, invite viewers to experience the shifting moods of nature through layers of texture and vibrant color.
Her ability to capture the spirit of an English garden in full bloom has made her paintings a favorite among collectors. Each piece is a celebration of beauty, light, and texture, offering a timeless connection to the natural world.
