Welcome!
I’m Leah Wilkerson, an Atlanta artist who believes inspiration and curiosity are fuel for the studio. I’ve never been very interested in making the same thing over and over. I follow what catches my attention—a shimmer of water, an unexpected shape, a meaningful symbol, a story I can’t stop thinking about—and see where it leads.

That curiosity has taken my work in all kinds of directions, from peaceful abstract landscapes inspired by Lake Oconee to hand-gilded medallions created to mark the people, places and moments we want to remember. The work may look different from one piece to another, but the thread running through it is the same: meaning, connection and a sense of wonder.
