leslie rae cannon art

Born and raised in Atlanta, I graduated with a degree in art and education from Presbyterian College.  I work primarily in acrylics and my paintings celebrate light, color, and the quiet poetry of everyday beauty.  I draw inspiration from the coast, flowers, and intimate still-life moments, balancing recognizable forms with a gentle drift towards abstraction. My use of expressive brushwork and a layered, luminous palette asks the viewer to linger: capturing reflections, movement, and the emotional essence of a place rather than its exact likeness.  ​

​

Rooted in my Southern upbringing and influenced by faith and family, I hope my work radiates warmth and ease.  Whether painted en plein air or in the studio, each piece is infused with a sense of calm, joy, and nostalgia.  Art meant to elevate a space while evoking memories of sunny shores, gathered tables, and moments of quiet grace.

I take limited commissions in between my studio painting. Contact me for more information.
