Leanne Christie

Born in Warwickshire, Leanne Christie spent her formative years in Cornwall and now lives and works in Devon. Painting has always been an integral part of her life as her mum is an accomplished artist, so she grew up surrounded by her mother’s work and all the relevant paraphernalia that goes with it. Therefore, it really is of no surprise that Leanne would follow her footsteps into the art world.

A prolific embellished oil painter in her own right, with more than 20 years’ experience Leanne confesses she still uses some of the techniques her mum began teaching her at the tender age of 12. She does however continue to experiment in her own unique way, putting down bright colour paint with all that shimmers, including glitter, jewels and metal leaf - creating her heavily individual stylised English wild flower meadows and country gardens which are vivid, vibrant, often dazzling, most definitely unforgettable, highly prised and sought after.
