Meg Leonard

Meg Leonard was born in Chicago, Illinois and studied art at Wright College and the School of the Art Institute of Chicago where she majored in painting.  A trip cross-country during those years solidified her love of the west and she moved to Colorado in 1971. Meg returned to painting and creating art in 2000 after a many year hiatus.

She paints in various mediums: acrylic, oil, watercolor. Her abstract paintings are conversations between the artist and the medium. Often these paintings begin as a reaction to an event or emotion, raw and unfiltered. As the painting progresses, so do those initial impulses. The dialogue happens when the painting directs the artist rather than the reverse.

Most recently, using a gel plate and acrylic paints, Meg is producing unique abstract prints, called the “Conjunctions” series.

She resides in Colorado and Arizona.
