Message from the artist:
I would love to hear your comments on the artwork on this page. Please send me an email and let me know what you think of my art. -- Leon Washington

Leon is an artist working out of his home studio in San Pedro, California, where he paints visions straight out of his imagination in light, airy colors as a way of escaping the ugliness he has seen in life.

Leon has been painting for over 15 years. He first started painting in a class taught by Lillian Ashton Brooks at the Downey Community Health Center. Ms. Brooks immediately realized that his artwork was much more than therapy.

"From the beginning, Leon showed an instinctive sense of pattern, space, color and texture. He seemed to know all the things that most talented people go to art school to learn." Lillian Ashton-Brooks.

His art has been shown at the Downey Art Museum, Downey Public Library and Lomita City Hall.

"His talent is intuitive and he is working completely outside the mainstream of art movements. His works provoke strong reactions because they have inherent power. There is also a punch and a magic to his work that is quite uncommon." Scott Ward, director of the Downey Art Museum.

Leon's girlfriend is also an artist. You can see her paintings here.
