About Leigh

My name is Leigh Bisset. I am an Internationally exhibited Fine Artist, with pieces hanging in private residence worldwide. My work explores the ocean as an emotional and sensory landscape, with the intention to create objects of beauty that transcend the noise of the world and usher peace into spaces.

I grew up on the north coast of Durban, South Africa, where the ocean was an innate part of my life. In 2000, I completed a Fine Arts degree cum laude (1996-2000), majoring in painting.

After my studies, I spent time traveling, and experience that expanded my creative perspective and connecting to the natural world. I found myself settling in Bondi Beach, Sydney, Australia, where I happily based myself for 10 years, working the field of Branding and Graphic Design.

Upon my return to South Africa in 2012, I joined the Branding team of LIV Village, a non-profit providing a home and restoration for orphans and vulnerable children (www.liv-village.com).

By 2015, it was time to come back to my first love – painting. Currently, I work from my studio on the North Coast of Durban, South Africa.
