Artist’s Statement:
Liz Leggett’s paintings and drawings are process driven, the colors and mark making used to express speed, tension, rebuilding, frenzy, balance, conformity, control, hope and joy. Her primary interest is the play between abstraction and imagery to create visual confusion, uncomfortable associations and ambiguity–leaving the work open for interpretation and a visceral response.

IN THE STUDIO
Snoop Home Tour: Step inside Gena and Billy Mann’s historic Weston home, where art, activism, and music intertwine. With its rich history, Scandinavian-meets-mountain aesthetic, and hidden angel collection, this soulful retreat is as inspiring as the couple who call it home.
