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 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.
