Heading West

The "Lady" Show in New York June 13th is coming up, but for those that cannot attend the east coast show, I am excited to announce I will also be having a group show with Dallas Shaw and Liz Ballard on June 27th from 5-8 in San Francisco at Stem. Love to see you there for drinks and the cupcakes.

A special thanks to batter bakery for providing the cupcakes for the San Francisco show
and to whimsy & spice for providing the treats for the show in New York.
YUMMY!!

"Unattired"

Leigh- 2009




While editing this photo I couldn't help but think of the movie Magnolia, I have no idea if this flower is of such, but it inspired just that. Such a great film if you have not seen it yet.

Available to purchase at my etsy shop of course. :)

Friends that inspire

Photos: Jeffery Haas


Model above Richelle






Jeffry Haas is a great friend of mine and one of the many photographers that I admire, we just got off the phone and there is always so much inspiration that I pull from him. I have worked with him doing makeup and he is definitely a driven creative that will keep you on your toes while driving those that are around to pull out the best from within. So for the weekend here are just a few of my favorite images including one of his paintings.
(I am convincing him to set up an Etsy shop as well btw) yay! Enjoy.

Sweet moments

Photo: Via Style and the city


I love this capture, photography that just grabs the perfect moment and I love her bag. (what is it?) I am actually going to drop off my beloved Balenciaga motorcycle bag at a cobbler tomorrow in hopes they can bring back that brightness of what it used to be. That is the hard thing about a white leather bag, in time not so white anymore, well and the fact I carried it to death. I was in love.

All I ever wanted was the box

These scarfs are wonderful and inspirational with the different ways you can wear them this summer. I really would love actually to collect the Hermès and Tiffany's boxes and organize my office with them, how wonderful.
That is actually about what my budget is, an empty box with some tissue as a bonus, no?

framing time

This photo represents the last few days for me searching and searching for the perfect frames. I am preparing for my art show in New York and also for another shortly after in San Francisco (more on that soon). I just need to make sure my art is ready and waiting for me when I land. whoo :)

Also have been quite busy dealing with car issues from when the moving truck hit me. Totaled was the news I received today, It just takes up time, I am already the type that has filled up each minute of my day. Oh well what can you do, again I am just happy that my daughter and I are physically safe. What a pain.

I am so excited for this and have been anxious to share! It happens to fall on my Birthday so it makes it even more special for me:) So come join us for a group showing called "Lady" which will include, Dallas Shaw, Samantha Hahn, Christina Entcheva and I on June 13th at the Charles Nolan flagship store in New York from 5-8 pm.

Hope to see you there :)
*Thank you Letitia at Dujour for the mention as well.

I love this song from Flight of the Concords, I couldn't help but think of it with the title of our show. I think the title "Lady" represents all of our art so well. I am honored to be part of it with all you wonderfully talented ladies:)

"Please Print Neatly"

Leigh 2009

Prints available at my Etsy shop.

What a strange week, I still have such great news and so close to sharing, but in the meantime I was faced with inconveniences so to speak the last few days. I was on my way to taking my daughter to school on friday then to pay my first traffic violation ever when a huge moving van decided to take his left lane and make it a right, where I was. Scrapping and pulling my bumper completely off along while denting just about the entire front and left side of my car.. My worst fear being caught between a huge truck and no where to go. We are okay thankfully, but car needs a lot of help. Off to the rental place tomorrow and more to put on my long list of things to do.
So stuck at home all weekend, I decided to have more fun with my Flourish painting and make a new open edition print. :)
