Leisa O'Gorman

Banner for Leisa O'Gorman

Leisa O’Gorman is a self taught artist who began painting three years ago following a trip to Tasmania. There she was inspired by both the artistic scene as well as the beauty of untouched wilderness. Leisa works primarily in acrylics and she seeks to intuitively capture the ephemeral essence of landscape with this medium. 

Somewhere between realism and abstract interpretation , her work hopes to convey a landscape which exists beyond time, place and memory. Through subtle use of light and shade, she hopes the viewer is taken to a place in distant memory, a place of transcendent evocation that resonates with their experience, a place both known and unknown. Painting landscapes is a meditative and intuitive process for Leisa, one which is both an amalgamation of stored memories of the natural world and a glimpse into a place beyond landscape, an entry into the infinite.

The Ghost of a Memory
The Grace of That Moment
What remains in time
As we remember
Memories of Then 2
The Wild North
The escarpment
The Northern Divide
A story told in whispers 2
The shadow of the North
The weight of endless sky
Into the Wild
A story told in whispers
The weight of time and distance
Beyond the Valley
Beneath a heavy sky
A Mountain remembered
Memories of then
This Gentle Light
First Snow at Ortisei
Where the sky begins
The mountains held their breath

Beneath the grey sky
The possibility of Storms
The way forward
A place to catch our breath
The Valley Below
The Headland
Storm Surge
Someplace only we know
Places we remember
Into the mystery
In the lowlands
In the highlands
In the Distance
In a time such as this
I found my way
Far South
Far From Home
Deep in the Mountains
At the end of the trail
All the Way to the River
All the Rivers Run
The way home
The Last Light
Home Before Dusk
