Leanne is a relative newcomer to the area, having moved to Tongio West from Central Australia in 2011. She is most interested in symbolism, allegory, and storytelling through art.

The peace, seclusion and natural beauty of the Swifts Creek area, as well as the strong sense of community and place, is inspiring to her.

Leanne works in a variety of media, usually oil on canvas but occasionally using such materials as paper mache, collage, fabric, wood, found objects, and wire.
