I have a passion for connection and expression, and my art intends to bring these two things together. 

​

Hello, I’m Leyla, and this is a little snippet of who I am, what I do and why I do it. Born in Australia and raised in country-side Ireland, I made my way back to Aus, creating a cosy home and a beautiful community by the sea on the Mornington Peninsula. 

​

Community, connection and nature are all big parts of my life with a focus on supporting others to take up space and be themselves, so they can then connect with the world around them more deeply.

​

I use a continuous line style, allowing for bold and fluid figures to emerge organically. I create bodies of work using themes that run through my life as inspiration. My commissioned art pieces are completely unique to each individual. I offer body portraits, life drawing workshops throughout Melbourne and collaborate with aligned companies. 

​

My Studio is located on the land of the Boon Warrung/Bunurong People of the Kulin National. My studio is just over an hour outside Melbourne in Shoreham. 

​

If you have any questions I’d love to hear from you, always open to collaboration ideas.
