Mixed media Boston artist Leah Giberson creates pure optical poetry—a visual language of beautiful economic compositions and frequent suburban nomenclature, all painted with vibrant hues. (If you have a penchant for green like myself you are in the right place.) Leah, a former art director and interactive designer, is most recognized for her extracted suburban subject matter. In addition to these works, I have included samples of her lovely camper subjects outside a suburban environ. You will want to visit her shop to see much more. A list of places to purchase Leah’s original paintings online plus brick and mortars can be found here in her shop profile.

My current body of work falls somewhere between the worlds of photography, painting and collage. I begin with photographs of seemingly ordinary and mundane scenes, which I then paint directly upon to distill and reveal the visually poignant moments that exist all around us, but are often overlooked.

There is a quiet anxiety and loneliness in these images of isolated houses, empty chairs, abandoned pools and vacant streets. Shadows loom from unknown/unseen sources, horizon lines become uncomfortably close, people are absent and geographic clues are obscured. Despite all this uneasiness, there is also a sense of bravery or at least a blind and determined optimism.
