SHIPPING & DELIVERY: Shipping in the US is complimentary. Please allow 2-7 days for your artwork to be signed, varnished, and prepped for safe shipment. It is then boxed or crated to ensure it arrives with you in perfect condition. You will receive a tracking number as soon as it is shipped. All originals travel by courier, insured, unless you're local to the Portland, Oregon area, in which case I can hand-deliver them to you.

GUARANTEE: Your artwork will arrive in pristine condition, securely packaged and carefully handled. Each painting is insured in transit. In the extremely rare event that your artwork doesn't arrive in perfect condition, I have a 100% satisfaction guarantee for your peace of mind. Contact me within 24 hours with details and clear photographs of the damage/quality issue, and I will resolve it promptly. 

INSPIRATION: When I fly, I deliberately choose a window seat so I can study the cities below. I'm always amazed at what I see, every single time. Recently, I flew from Portland to Palm Springs, and the differences I saw were vast. Above Portland was very industrial, and above Palm Springs was a vast desert, surrounded by a lush oasis, with pools, lights, and nightlife. When I see aerial views, I always feel this sense of marvel and disbelief that I'm just one small part of humanity.

 

About The Artist

I'm Leah Nadeau, and I make abstract acrylic paintings shaped by a deep love of architecture, a film school education that taught me to see the world differently, and synesthesia, which means music looks like colors in my head. Each piece is an original, made slowly, one at a time, built to anchor a room and quietly change how it feels to be in it.

Rooted in Mid-Century Modern Design and themes of resilience and joy, my work becomes the focal point around which collectors build entire spaces.

Featured in Atomic Ranch Magazine, exhibited at the famous Modernism Week in Palm Springs, and works permanently installed at the Henry Ford Health Cancer Institute in Detroit, Michigan.
