Beatrix Leach

Artist Statement

My work pulls from traditional folk art styles and storytelling methods, while quietly observing the world around me. My work is my commentary on what, I feel, can be noticed, when we abandon the fast paced, ever evolving lives we live, and simply sit quietly, with eyes wide, for a moment. My hope is that when you engage with my works, you are left with a feeling of warmth and nostalgia ~ as if you have turned back the pages of time and feel the deep magic rooted in childhood and the joys of long forgotten traditions. I hope my work evokes whimsy and curiosity, and makes you slow down as you discover all the details hidden within each piece.
