About

I am Leanne Sargeant.

My love for creating began from the time I learned how to hold a pencil. I remember sitting in the kitchen while my Nonna did the dishes, and I would draw for hours on the back of recycled advertisements. I realized that art allows you to travel into a new world, one that I couldn't possibly live without. When I was 16 I got my grandfather’s SLR and became fascinated with the idea that with my camera, I could freeze time. With just one click I could document the way light was falling at any given moment and it would continue to live on even after I am no longer here.

I earned my BFA in Illustration from Laguna College of Art and Design and shortly after created my first company Sargeant Creative.

 I'm inspired by love and nature in everything I do. When taking photos I strive to document real moments and capture the essence of who people truly are. Sometimes I paint with my hands and I enjoy working with paper, patterns and symmetry. I approach each piece with the intention to learn something new about my medium, subject and myself along the way. 

I truly believe that with love and passion everything is possible.
