Inspiration: Trauma is a big part of my story,
but I don't let it hold me back.
By age 13 I had witnessed a stabbing, and
experienced a horse stable fire that caused 19
horses to perish. Countless lives were affected
by a cruel act by a drunk man- throwing a
firework into a hayloft to "scare" the horses,
causing it to ignite.

When I was 19 I was robbed, and although I only
lost material items, I was left being scared and
violated.

I wouldn't wish these traumatic events on
anyone, but I thankfully had a supportive family
to help me through, going to therapy and
eventually bouncing back.
I continue to go to therapy to help me cope with
my past, and it helps me navigate my life today
with the small remnants of trauma I carry with
me.


I let my life experiences guide me like a compass,
but I don't allow trauma to dictate my future.

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.
