A descendant of the Wiradjuri tribe, Leeanne was born in Moree and has been a contributing artist with The Rainbow Serpent since its inception in 1991.
She is a multi-talented artist who employs her skills to teach adults and children more about their rich heritage, as well as instilling awareness in the community about thriving indigenous culture.
Her vibrant hand painted work, including jewellery, terracotta vessels, graphic canvasses, emu eggs and clothing, has been recognised internationally for it's technical brilliance and visual appeal.
From exhibiting in Harrods, London, displaying woven rugs in the European Trade Fair, Germany, and being commissioned by QANTAS for limited edition prints, Leeanne has applied her skills to communicating the intricasies of her culture.
"I love to communicate through painting" says Leeanne. "My main inspiration is explaining our Aboriginal heritage in a contemporary, pictorial way and transcending racial barriers. Teaching anybody who wants to learn is also my motivation."
A tutor of Aboriginal Art at Campbelltown Art Gallery, mother of four and prolific designer, Leeanne is in constant demand for her unique ability to inspire artists of all ages and create elaborately painted pieces which span decorative, commercial and cultural usage.
