Leila Atkinson

As a child, I was often uprooted from place to place. Amid the turmoil, I found an identity in my creativity.
I have evolved through different styles, but one theme has remained constant: nature and its mystery which I am compelled to understand.
Born in the Mediterranean, much of my art reflects memories of the blue sea of my childhood. The bright colors and visual patterns of nature I depict evoke a place of wonder that I like to explore and express. I am inspired by nature and by dreams that manifest themselves in my paintings.
