Leighty, Darcie

I am constantly cataloging and tucking away images into my mind. When I reach back to incorporate them into a painting, the details have become less important to me resulting in an emotional remembrance of the images rather than a technical one.

It is this “emotional remembrance” of bold colors and expressive line encapsulated within a familiar image, that I am compelled to share.

I received my formal art education from Rhode Island School of Design later graduating from Portland State University. In the past, I have enjoyed working as both freelance illustrator and art teacher but found that nothing can replace the personally reflective experience of being a studio artist.
