Laundry Day
ACRYLIC Original on canvas
 
 
Pop Modern

Painter Leah Michele Saulnier's colors, textures and characters seem to jump off the canvas and into our imaginations. Her interiors offer a playful look at the common place as unsuspecting subjects suddenly share the room with unique situations, prankish ideas, or as in the series "Laundry Day", A present day Lady Godiva, who has tossed every stitch of clothing into the same load of a wash. Leah's "Figurative Fantasy" style continues in her Unusual Flowers and Human Faces which may be described, by turns, as winsome, wistful, or willful.

As a child of the 70's, Leah's exposure to life from Chicago to a West Coast "Back to Nature" commune has shaped her ongoing appreciation for colorful nonconformists, (eccentrics,) friendly beasts and the natural realm. Her present life unfolds in a living menagerie of people and pets at her home outside Lamy, New Mexico.

The artist admits to having some assistance with project concepts, noting that during their daily feedings one or the other of her two llamas, Duke & Dolly, May whisper a wildly imaginative idea into her ear.
