Leigh Witherell, a Figurative Impressionist artist...

... based in Melbourne, Florida, USA, works primarily with acrylic on canvas. Witherell is best known for her compelling ability to capture scenes of human emotion through contemporary compositions, often reflecting profound and intimate moments.

Witherell's work delves into authentic intimacy and the exploration of the most private moments of the human experience. Characterized by organic, earth-tone color palettes and dynamic brushwork, her paintings often evoke deep emotional and provocative responses. Significant projects include a series of works that portray the silent, powerful moments of interpersonal relationships and a series focused on parental grief spurred by her own personal tragedy in 2021. The latter experience triggered a seismic shift in her personal philosophy and life goals. This new personal drive has her attention tightly focused on creating artwork that celebrates love and encourages introspection about how we approach and interact with others on a societal and personal level.

Leigh Witherell has exhibited her work in several reputable venues, including the Las Laguna Art Gallery in Orange County, California, The Orlando Museum of Modern Art in  Florida, Espacio CóMPLICES in Madrid, Spain, and the Eisele Gallery in Cincinnati, Ohio, USA. She has also participated in the Buinho Creative Residency in Messejana, Portugal. Witherell's works are held in numerous private collections, attesting to her rising presence in contemporary art.
