About

“Looking at the world through patterns brought things together for me.  Whether from a distance, looking a whole bridge structure in one glance at the leaves between blossoms…  They seemed infinite.” Portland Artist Leah Faure expresses her love for pattern in contrasting ways.  With a strong love for Portland and its beautiful architecture, she is drawn to its industrial areas and quiet neighborhoods.    Intricate flower paintings, also echo this pursuit of pattern.

Leah paints predominantly in oil, interchanging between direct painting and old master glazing technique.   Her love for architecture is strong.   Leading her to document several building in Portland’s industrial areas as well as commissions for house portraits, documenting people’s personal homes.

Leah Faure’s art career began at Portland State University following a love of painting, drawing and photography.  She continued it staying active in the art community by teaching, volunteering and working for years in the art supply industry.  “This career path has given me a window into the art life and projects.  It has also given me a wealth of knowledge used in my art.”
