Artist and nature enthusiast Leah Olsen-Kent uses oil paint as a medium to explore the simplicity and beauty of nature.  From wildlife to landscapes, Leah is always searching for those quiet moments to capture, to create a moment frozen in time.  Leah explores detail and contrast through a minimal colour palette, appreciating the light and dark and all the tonal variations in between.

Being close to numerous trails and parks allows Leah the opportunity to always connect with nature.  During the summer months, this includes travelling to campgrounds in Northern Ontario to be fully immersed and paint and in her outdoor studio.

Studying at NSCAD in Halifax, Nova Scotia and OCAD in Toronto, Ontario pushed Leah’s boundaries to explore drawing, silk screening, sculpture and photography, but Leah’s heart ultimately lies in painting andexpressing her passion through brushstrokes.
