IEA Member Artist Profile
Karon Leigh
Karon Leigh is a mixed media and encaustic artist now residing in southeastern Arizona outside of Tucson after over a decade in the Pacific Northwest.
An expressionist painter, Karon Leigh is influenced by place, light and time. The landscapes of her surroundings are evidenced as transitory thoughts,
feelings or memories that speak, through her layered and textural encaustics, of the lush, wet and sensual Pacific Northwest – or the hauntingly arid
deserts of the Southwest. Drenched in the colors and almost ethereal qualities of light and depth that are so unique to the encaustic method.
ARTIST STATEMENT
Interested in how our surroundings affect us, I am drawn to landscapes and influenced by time of day or weather, my paintings are intuitively created
and often dictated by the painting itself as it evolves and develops through the building of numerous layers of encaustic, oil pastels, oil paint and
other mixed media as needed. The finished work invites the viewer to experience a moment in time, a memory or a place long forgotten.
