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 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.
