Artist Statement

Through bold color choices and innovative techniques, Leigh Oviatt pushes the boundaries of contemporary fiber art from her Santa Fe studio. Her large-scale textile pieces emerge through intuitive exploration, combining rich textures with vibrant hues inspired by organic shapes and colors found in the natural environment. Each hand woven piece invites viewers into a tactile world where traditional craft meets modern expression. Her soft, handmade work is created in a state of flow and meditation, serving as a counterpoint to society's fascination with AI and fast paced living.
