Welcome to the studio
Leesa Elliot is an abstract artist based in Sawtell, NSW.
Her paintings are expressive and rich in colour. While her mark making and brushstrokes can be bold and frenetic, they ultimately evoke a sense of calm and harmony.
Leesa works in countless layers of paint and transparent glazes to create depth and luminosity. Her process is deeply intuitive — beginning with energetic, spontaneous gestures that gradually evolve through gentle refinement and softening. Each piece becomes a meditation on balance, exploring the tension between spontaneity and perfectionism.
Leesa’s art invites viewers to pause and connect — to sense movement, emotion, and stillness coexisting on the canvas. Her aim is not to depict the world as it appears, but to express how it feels: layered, unpredictable, and full of quiet beauty.
