Leigh Wells
Prints & Mixed Media
Lives and works in Sausalito, CA
Leigh Wells’ mixed media works comprise collage, drawings, and sculpture of found materials, paper, and fabric as well as paintings on pieced textiles that consist of simple, restrained abstract forms. Her work has been featured in The New York Times, Architectural Digest, Elle Decor, and Harper’s Magazine. Select honors include Pollock Krasner Foundation Grant and SFMOMA SECA Award nomination.
“I approach the combination of elements in my work as though I am constructing a feeling, a thought, a relationship—intentionally creating spatial and narrative ambiguity that heightens the work’s expressive tension.”
