Statement 
Leah Dorrian's artwork shares a reverence for mystery, divinity, wildlife, and the wonders of nature. Through each painting, she invites the viewer to contemplate and fall in love with the intrinsic magic of the human experience and the wisdom to be learned from our beautiful planet. Venturing deep into the mind and into nature's diverse environments, her art captures the reverberations of what she discovers and wishes to inspire within the collective consciousness- a deep sense of peace, love, and passion to protect all that is sacred.

Bio
Leah Dorrian was born in 1995 in the historic city of Frederick, Maryland, and is now living in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia.
