LEAH GARDNER ART
Leah Gardner is a self-taught painter who lives and works in Chicago, Illinois. In March of 2020, she picked up painting as a distraction from COVID and her resulting unemployment. After a few months of fiddling around, accumulating a stack of terrible paintings, and learning from many mistakes, she realized she was developing a knack for working with oils and began to sell her work.
Since January 2021, Leah has painted full-time, selling originals and prints on her website and at the occasional art fair. In her free time, Leah can be found walking her dog around Chicago, tending to her many plants, or binge-reading fiction novels.
