Description

DESCRIPTION: 18 x 24” acrylic painting on canvas made by Leah Nadeau, originally made in 2018, but updated in October 2026.
Its maze of bright, interlocking shapes feels like a world opening up to opportunity as a new era of my life began.

2018 was the year my life changed in a profound way. I was laid off my remote job in California and it lead me to take the leap into art full time. At the time I was living in Ann Arbor, Michigan, beginning to immerse myself in the art community there.

I took the leap, and it lead me to where I am now.

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.
