Inspiration:

As the days get colder, I find myself reaching for the brightest, most saturated color, neons that cut through the gray. They lift my mood, but more than that, the way they interact on the canvas brings a sense of childlike nostalgia, like flipping through a favorite picture book or unwrapping a fresh set of markers. When the world feels heavy, when I struggle to accept what I can’t change, I turn to color. It reminds me that hope is something I can create. This painting represents hope for me. 

Framing details: Framed in either black metal, gold, or unframed.

Shipping: Each painting is carefully packed to ensure its safe arrival. All paintings come ready to hang on your wall unless otherwise noted, signed on the front, dated on the back, and comes with a certificate of authenticity for your records.

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.
