Inspiration: 

In 2014, while pursuing my master’s degree in film theory in Wales, I discovered painting as my creative escape—a way to unwind after the intense hours spent on my dissertation. What began as a simple release turned into a lifelong passion, sparking a daily practice that has shaped my journey ever since.

 

My painting Super 8 carries the story of that beginning. Named for the prominent “8” in the composition, it’s a nod to how this journey started. It’s also inspired by the iconic Super 8 film format, a choice that revolutionized the art world in the ’70s for its accessibility and creative freedom.

 

This piece is an homage to the lasting influence of film and television on my art, capturing the energy and spontaneity that drew me to storytelling in the first place.

 

Exhibitions:

Organized Chaos - Solo Exhibition - Women United Art Movement (2023)

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.
