Located in Southwest Missouri

Biography:

V. Leigh Carr is a mixed-media artist and oil-pastelist living with her husband and daughter in a wooded corner of the Ozarks, just south of Joplin, Missouri.
Born into a family of professional creatives, she received an unconventional hands-on art education through 2012, leading to early success in local competitions. A diagnosis of Autism and a genetic disorder (Ehlers-Danlos) has shaped her perspective and led her to develop her passion further as a means of expression and healing.

V. Leigh typically works in series related by medium or subject matter. She draws inspiration from her vivid dreams, faith, and natural surroundings. Her work is driven by curiosity and challenges the boundaries between real and fantastical.
