" I try to capture the vitality and rich diversity of the scene, while concentrating on the emotional context. That is crucial to me".

     Leona Brown has walked on the Great Wall of China, snorkeled in the Grand Cenotes of Mexico, Flamenco danced in Spain and wept in the Van Gogh Gardens in Arles, France. All of these experiences influence her art, filling her canvases with vivid colours and passionate strokes.

     She is an active Member of the Federation of Canadian Artists as well as the Canadian Society of Painters in Watercolour. She has been President of the Manitoba Society of Artists and President and Secretary of Winnipeg Sketch Club and also the Artist Cooperative Medea Gallery, in Winnipeg. She is now represented by Gallery 240 in Ottawa and Jong Gallery in Nanjing China.

      Leona has painted and taught watercolour for the last 30 years in Winnipeg, throughout Canada and Internationally. She was an original exhibitor with Art Expo when it first started and is returning this year to show her new works in acrylics and mixed media.

     "Leona paints from the soul and finds that it is the process of painting that is important to her whether it be representational or abstract. Leona's pouring out of her heart is indeed an extensive vocabulary that expresses her feelings in a powerful way." Gallery 240 Ottawa.
