About

Nancy Leigh-Smith

I am  a figurative and fibre artist.

I started making art in  grade school, painting with watercolours, acrylics and chalk pastels, and later making art quilts and wall hangings.  In  2002 I was introduced to figurative soft sculpture and have been enthusiastically designing and creating my own ever since.

At the moment I am also taking classes in watercolour painting which I consider as cross training for my art. Although I do have an idea of how I might incorporate it into one or more of my dolls.

I am a member of  All Dolled Up (Ottawa’s Cloth Doll Club),  the Canadian Doll Artists’ Association (CDAA) and the Ottawa Artisans Guild.
