Leigh Nelson
Artist member since 2019
Toronto, Ontario
I studied at the Toronto School of Art where I focused on abstract painting and received my Fine Arts Diploma in 2001 and then years later I specialized in Digital Media. Having learned both painting and graphics , I’m able to bring my skill for colour and focus on blending all the pictures together as one. I love designing illusion images and letting people decide on what the actual outcome is in each piece.
Technique: Digital Media printed on Epson enhanced matte paper. I begin by gathering the photos I’d like to use and place them into the photoshop file. I edit the colours and cut and paste into other spaces.
