Inspiration: Back when being gay was illegal, people used to say that people were "A Friend of Dorothy" as code to mean they were a member of the LGBTQ community. Although it's better, it's not always safe for members of the community to come out to their family and friends, or their community. This painting represents someday that people won't fear coming out.

Exhibitions: Solo exhibition, West Seattle Art Walk 2022

About The Artist..

I'm Leah Nadeau, and I make abstract acrylic paintings shaped by three things I can't separate from how I see: a deep love of architecture, a film school education that taught me to see the world differently, and chromethesia, which means I see colors in my brain when I hear music. 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 Modernism Week, and permanently installed at the Henry Ford Health Cancer Institute in Detroit, Michigan.
