Description

"A Friend of Dorothy" is a 30 x 30-inch original acrylic painting on gallery-wrapped 1.5-inch thick canvas. It has been sealed and varnished. It is sold unframed.

Series: This work is from the Abstract Cityscape series.

See a video of the painting here.

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

Shipping: The cost of shipping is included in the price unless you're international.

About The Artist

I’m Leah Nadeau, and I create original abstract paintings for people who want their homes to feel unmistakably like their own.

My work is shaped by architecture, midcentury modern design, my film school background, and synesthesia, which means I experience music as color. Every painting is made slowly, by hand, and one at a time.

Filled with color, joy, resilience, and a little weirdness, these paintings aren’t meant to disappear into the background. They become the piece you build the entire room around.

My work has been featured in Atomic Ranch Magazine, exhibited at Modernism Week in Palm Springs, and permanently installed at the Henry Ford Health Cancer Institute in Detroit.
