About Dawn Leigh
Welcome,
I’m Dawn Leigh, a mixed-media artist creating original works that combine collage, paint, and texture to evoke memory, emotion, and movement. I work with materials that hold a story — hand-painted papers, found textiles, old maps, weathered book pages, and layers of acrylic and watercolor. These elements aren’t just background — they’re part of the narrative.
If you’re the kind of collector who wants more than just a beautiful piece — if you want work that sparks conversation, invites reflection, or captures something you didn’t quite have words for — my art is made for you.
I create in focused series, each with a unique voice, palette, and mood. Pieces often explore themes such as transformation, connection, and the natural world, particularly sea life. You’ll find pieces that are soulful without being sentimental, layered but not chaotic.
New collections are released a few times a year, and many pieces find homes quickly. You can browse available artwork here — each original piece is one-of-a-kind, and once it’s sold, it’s gone. Limited edition prints and fine art prints are also on the way, so if you’re looking for a more accessible entry point into collecting my work, keep an eye out — or join the collector list to be first to know when they’re released.
If you're curious about commissioning something personal or want to be notified when the next series drops, get in touch. I’m always open to a thoughtful conversation.
Whether you’re here to shop, get inspired, or soak in some creative vibes, I’m so glad you’re here. When I’m not creating, I’m a cultural adventurer, urban explorer, and master of “planned spontaneity” (yes, it’s a thing). Equal parts Frugalista and lover of life’s little luxuries, I thrive on finding joy in everything—from hidden gems tucked into city corners to breathtaking views in national parks. Life is my favorite art medium, and I’m here to savor every color, texture, and unexpected twist it brings!
And of course, I couldn’t do it all without the real boss of the studio—my feline Studio Supervisor, Bella Luna—who keeps things running with impeccable nap scheduling and the occasional paw of approval.
Thanks for being here.
