The inspiration for this painting lies in imagery around elements of land and sea, coastal estuaries and tidal flow, deltas and rivers; constantly in flux, changing environments due to nature’s rhythms, tidal cycles and weather patterns. The painting SOURCE is loosely influenced by a NASA satellite photograph. |

"Leach’s new works explode with abstract energy, new vigour and freedom after an extended European sojourn. Her approach is intuitive - she paints autonomously, free from external influence - avoiding subject and genre yet there is structure, line and rhythm. Her mark making skills are strong as she plays with swirls, splashes and drips - perhaps evoking Pollock and Kandinsky". Review, February 2018
