MEDIUMS: Oil SPECIALTY: ✔ Technique
My group focuses on overcoming blocks, challenges, and limiting beliefs by using measurable techniques and problem-solving to push boundaries and achieve new levels of growth.
I’ll provide technical expertise and guidance with techniques and exercises to help students refine their visual language and clarify their goals and intentions. We’ll emphasize individual strengths, helping each student discover their unique style.
Together, we’ll cover the fundamentals and study how to create impactful paintings using design, composition, and controlled paint application. I’ll also provide critiques and offer fresh perspectives and possibilities to help students grow.

MORE ABOUT THE ARTIST
A local Western Australian artist, Leanne grew up in South Africa and was exposed to the vibrant, colourful culture, vast landscape and natural beauty of authentic Africa. Being brought up in the affectionately known Rainbow Nation, Leanne had the opportunity to study under celebrated South African artists John Smith and Richard Rennie. Their mentorship inspired Leanne to continue exploring her artistic talent and travel extensively across Europe, Central America and Canada. This further fuelled Leanne’s passion for design and fine art and she began working in the design industry.
With her many accomplishments she produced and printed work for the giftware industries of South Africa, Japan, the United States of America and Canada, including private commissions for Bronx Zoo in New York and the World Wildlife Fund. Following her move to Western Australia over 20 years ago, Leanne has successfully established herself as one of the foremost portraiture artists in Perth with many private commissions for local dignitaries and families, whilst still creating her own original works.
Her art school has produced a number of practicing professional artists. Colour and, most importantly, light have become the key elements to Leanne’s exceptional work.
She loves rhythm and movement, and through her energetic brushstrokes she skilfully conveys this. In 2018 Leanne won the prestigious Liberty Liquors’ Portrait Art Award.
