leah rainey
Leah Rainey is a Canadian painter who lives and works in Toronto, Canada. Her paintings explore the elusive ground between the physical presence of the painted surface and latent memories, images and thoughts. Working with a reductive process of editing to explore the visual space around and between things, she observes and reveals that which is often overlooked; what we unconsciously register.
Rainey attended Loughborough College of Art and Design, and received her BA Honours in Fine Art from Chelsea College of Art and Design in London. Her work is held in the public collections of Christ College, Cambridge, and the Sheffield City Council.
