Katie Leavey is an emerging artist from the lower Blue Mountains of New South Wales. Raised in that region, the natural beauty surrounding her each day has been a constant source of inspiration. Drawing from the everyday landscapes, Katie has found a real love of using acrylic paints and mediums to create works of art that capture the essence of the mountains and dreamy skies.

"This series allowed me to explore the connections between the tranquility of the sky and the serene act of creating. Each artwork began with a shared palette that mirrors the gentle hues of rolling hills and blue skies , representing a calm foundation from which I could evolve the sky layers . As I progressed each artwork I allowed these initial colors to guide me through the next stages of expression via the sky’s cloud compositions . All of the sky layers were then influenced by intuition . This shift from connected landscapes to varying natural beauty of cloud formations allowed intuition to then influence creativity . By utilizing similar textures and color palettes throughout the series, I aimed for a sense of harmony in all 6 artworks, inviting viewers to experience the soothing influence of both the expansive sky variations and the intuitive act of connected creation. This was such a calming series to create and I love how connected all these artworks feel." - Katie Leavey
