Leigh Viner

Magnify

Leigh Viner was born and raised in Denver, where she still lives and works. She is currently expanding into fashion design, which has always been a large influence on her work, but she mostly creates from her emotions and life experiences. In addition to being an artist, Leigh works part-time as a freelance makeup artist. This skill gives her a better understanding of the structure of her subjects’ faces and influences the color in her art.

Leigh sells her art and photography online at jkldesign.etsy.com and features a few of the inspirations behind her work at her blog, jkldesign.blogspot.com. She will be showing her art this year in group shows in New York at Charles Nolan and Stem in San Francisco, which will include original works and prints. She was recently featured on the cover of the March/April issue of Dujour magazine.

What she loves: “The excitement of an idea, the tiredness and pleasure of creation and the freedom of completion.”
