As a family Leanne moved to Cornwall in the coast near Gwithian Towans where she spent her teenage years. This area is Leanne’s main inspiration for her seascapes.
Moving to South Devon in the 1990s, Leanne is now surrounded by Devon hedgerows and wildflower meadows.
The Flowerscapes
Leanne’s renowned flowerscapes have an amazing amount of detail in them. Using high quality oil paint, Leanne embellishes every painting with glitter, gold leaf or gems. Each painting captures an ethereal landscape with glistening flowers that seduces the observer into wanting to touch the artwork. Just as an English country garden changes through the seasons and moves towards the sun, enchantingly her paintings seem to mimic nature, magically coming alive through the course of the day.

Flower Rings
Something new for 2026 the new Flower Ring Collection. Inspired by wedding flowers, bouquets, wreaths and Pinterest. Oil embellished flowers and pretty things. Forever the magpie anything that sparkles and glistens Leanne finds a way to incorporate sugar and spice and all things nice.

The Seascapes
This style tends to have a romantic, nostalgic feel to each painting. Reflecting Leanne’s mood what she creates the seascapes, she gathers inspiration from her neighbouring coastline, her childhood and her own proposal of marriage amidst Gwithian Towans in Cornwall. Seascapes have proved a big commission favourite for the romantics and even a number of commissions have in themselves been unique proposal and anniversary presents.

The Waterscapes
Claude Monet, needless to say, has been Leanne’s biggest inspiration when it comes to her waterscapes. Water Lilies reflecting in the quiet ripples show Leanne’s tranquility at its best. Fascinated by the contrasts of colour, Leanne teases the paint until it evolves with just the right balance of vibrancy and calm.

The Moorlands
To anyone who’s experienced the beauty of the ever changing English moorland, it is understandable why it has been photographed and painted time and time again. Amidst the heather and gorse, the rolling hill and jagged rock face, there is a genuine feeling that this landscape has been untouched for centuries. As the amber sunsets bathe the moors in stunning light, the colours from natures carpet reflect a beautiful hue, especially as autumn approaches. Leanne captures this mesmerising emotion perfectly. As an observer, one can feel the change of the moorland painting as the sun sets and the light changes.
