Leigh Sandlin

Leigh is a local artist and graduate of the Memphis College of Arts. Leigh loves bright, bold colors and incorporates these in her paintings through many different mediums. For 25 years, she taught and shared these with her students in California. After returning to Tennessee, she built a studio on the family farm in Rosemark, where she continues to teach and paint. Leigh is influenced by the landscape, local gardens, and her many travels abroad.

Some of her mediums include textiles, encaustic, cold wax, oil, cyanotype, eco-botanical prints, intaglio, collagraph, and linoleum printing. Many of her pieces are collages and incorporate printmaking techniques with encaustic.

Leigh was named emerging artist at the 2024 River Arts Festival.  She has had one-person shows at Trezavant, WKNO, and Theater Memphis, and has been in many group exhibits at various venues around Memphis. Leigh is a member of the Memphis Germantown Art League, Artist Link, and the Memphis Arts Collective.
