Leah is widely recognized for her masterful use of atmospheric lighting, which adds depth and intrigue to her work. Her compositions are carefully crafted to evoke a sense of drama and hint at romantic undertones, inviting viewers to interpret the stories behind the scenes while leaving details open to the imagination. Each piece captures a moment that feels both engaging and mysterious, drawing the audience into a world of unspoken narratives. Particularly roused by Baroque expression with movement and contrast, Leah found that oil painting became a natural way to express desired qualities in still life and figurative works. Leah explains that "a painting's poetry and depth are revealed in the beauty of North light and warm cast shadows" while "each brush stroke is reverently linked back to artists Caravaggio, Artemisia Gentileschi, Velazquez, and Waterhouse of the Pre-Raphaelites, who used visual techniques found in tenebrism and chiaroscuro to enhance the presence of depth and dimension in their art.
