About

The light, colours and life under the sea have long fascinated painter Leah McCann and those elements surface naturally in her paintings. Cellular, or coral-like, forms colonise her acrylic works.

“These have been a recurring theme throughout my life,” she says.

“I’m completely enchanted with underwater life. In Fiji a few years ago, The snorkelling!!! was mind blowing! The corals were so fluorescent and colourful it was another world.”

“My work isn’t planned. It’s intuitive. I enjoy the process.”

Leah lives in beautiful sunny Gisborne, on the east coast of New Zealand.

  • COMMISIONS

    Leah paints commissions, special pieces to fill a certain nook in your home or work space. But feels her best work happens when she has free creative reign.

    Each commission request will be carefully considered, when there is an alignment of vision’s and artistic freedom, she will embark on creating a bespoke art piece.
