Leah Pantea:

I was raised in the mountains of Colorado, and attending Central Washington University, focusing in drawing and painting with a minor in philosophy. Right out of college I primarily focused on my fine art- placing my oil paintings in galleries and attending artist residencies around the world, while also illustrating microbiology textbooks alongside professors at San Diego State University. In 2017 I branched into creating murals- extending my fine art onto walls, merging my classic training with street art techniques. My speciality now is in creating atmospheric murals, art pieces that stretch onto multiple walls to create an ambiance in a space, instead of a mere wall covering. I love my pieces to grow onto ceilings and floors if permitted. I am passionate about making sophisticated and elegant art feel accessible and easily enjoyable.
