This is an acrylic painting on paper 12 x 9 inches. It can come framed in either black or gold. Matted and framed it measures 12 x 16 inches.


Meaning:

"What I Was Made For" is about claiming my own narrative. It’s a statement against the narrow roles society tries to push, especially for women. We’re told to be small, beautiful, and compliant, to serve others before we serve ourselves. But this piece is a rejection of that. It's about discovering and owning the truth that our worth comes from our passions, talents, and dreams—not from how we’re told to look or behave.

It's an unapologetic statement of self-empowerment and fulfillment, a reminder that we get to choose who we are, what we want, and what we were made for.

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.
