Leigh Mortensen

I began my artistic journey by sharing my work on platforms like Deviantart and ArtPal, where I received positive feedback in the form of likes and favorites. Encouraged by this response, I continued to share my art and gradually progressed to answering calls to artists in my hometown and nationally. These experiences allowed me to expand my reach and showcase my work on a larger scale. I mostly paint abstract figures, I call it unintentional art because each piece is unique and I never know what I am about to paint...I start out by putting down some paint on canvas, then I wash it off and what I "see" in the mess left on the canvas is what I work into the figures I paint. Each piece is motivated by the messiness and chaos that sometimes finds its way into our lives.
