About Leoné

Much of my work is based on the love I have developed for the English and especially Welsh land and seascapes over the last eight years of our stay in the UK.
I also focus on interiors and figurative work, and love to explore colour and composition through landscapes which enable me to share my life philosophy with others. To me life is vibrantly colourful with inevitable shadows in between, providing the necessary perspective and depth dimensions.
I also prefer to work in Impressionistic and Fauvian styles rather than the more realistic –
After recently relocating to South Africa, and now again able to enjoy the clear skies and warm sun so different from the amazing subdued light of the UK, I am exploring my unique position of dealing with life‘s similarities and differences after my absence from my homeland and reflecting on these ‘changed/similar’ realities through my creative energy and art.

Exhibitions

 Leone's most recent UK Exhibition of 39 pieces (of which 18 were sold) in The Morlan Centre, Aberystwyth, Wales ran from 14 September to 15 October 2009. That was in aid of the local cancer charity, Beacon of Hope, and part of the exhibition depicted her ongoing fight against and recovery from cancer over the last number of years. These paintings reflected on her creative exploration which as the months passed, became increasingly optimistic and joyous, filled with light and colour. Since returning from the UK and living in Port Elizabeth and now in Jeffereys Bay, she has exhibited from The Montage Gallery and from her studio at home.
