Description

 This work is made in professional acrylic and oil paint and measures 30 x 40 inches on a gallery-wrapped 1.5-inch-thick canvas. It comes wired and ready to hang on your wall.

INSPIRATION: There’s a lot happening in this piece: movement, restlessness, uncertainty, but beneath all of that is something gentler, too. A quiet hum of possibility. A flicker of hope that I hadn’t felt in a long time. Could this be my new reality? I feel a spark inside me igniting in this new city. ✨

This painting is about what it means to begin again, not with a clean slate, but with a full heart. It’s about walking forward while carrying fear in one hand and self-trust in the other. It’s about choosing to believe that love, belonging, and peace can grow in unfamiliar places, even when you’re not sure you deserve them yet.

This piece is my first chapter of Portland, The Rose City. 🌹 It was the first painting I made after moving to Oregon. 


 

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.
