Biography

Linnea Toney Leeming is an abstract painter who grew up in a family of artists. She has had a multi-faceted career as a painter, educator, photographer and photographer’s stylist that spans many years. Linnea focuses her interest in eye to hand directness in creating her own sense of space and time. She uses the abstractionist’s process-driven approach to painting and the practice of listening to the unconscious. Large abstract paintings are conceived by making a series of considered decisions fueled by issues of color and space, where lines, patterns, and textures overlap and merge into unified compositions. Working intuitively and impulsively, always vibrant and energetic, her paintings burst with color; the mind and hand working together to spark imagination.
