Description

This is an acrylic painting on paper 12 x 9 inches. It can come framed in either black or gold. Matted and framed it measures 12 x 16 inches.


Meaning:

"What I Was Made For" is about claiming my own narrative. It’s a statement against the narrow roles society tries to push, especially for women. We’re told to be small, beautiful, and compliant, to serve others before we serve ourselves. But this piece is a rejection of that. It's about discovering and owning the truth that our worth comes from our passions, talents, and dreams—not from how we’re told to look or behave.

It's an unapologetic statement of self-empowerment and fulfillment, a reminder that we get to choose who we are, what we want, and what we were made for.

Shipping: The cost of shipping is included in the price unless you're international.

Each painting is carefully packed to ensure its safe arrival and insured for the valued amount. All paintings come ready to hang on your wall unless otherwise noted, signed on the front, dated on the back, and come 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.
