Artist Leigh Brooklyn

Artist Profile

Apr 4

Leigh Brooklyn is a U.S artist with a BFA in Biomedical Illustration. She primarily works with oil paints, while also experimenting with graphite drawing. She sees herself moving towards mixed media, while currently studying clay sculptures for making bronze casts, and wielding for cultural work.

Brooklyn’s inspiration is rooted in the unwavering support she has received from young from her artistic mother and brother. Creating has been part of who she is and her identity since childhood, but it wasn’t until high school that she realised that she could make a career of it.

Brooklyn’s work is inspired by the people she meets through her street photography. She explores places like downtown Los Angelos, going to protests and being enveloped by how passionate people were. Part of her art practice is documenting this, meeting, connecting and hearing the stories of these different people. By doing this, Brooklyn has discovered that we are all so much more similar than we would care to admit, we all just want to be loved and respected.

Brooklyn sees her work becoming more humanitarian and sees herself taking on an activist approach with her goal to unite and inspire people. She also sees her work narrowing to women specifically and is simply excited at how she will grow and progress.
