I’m Leanne Fortney—artist, mother, nurturer, and lifelong learner, as well as a coalescence storyteller. My oil paintings bridge artist, viewer, and society, creating shared spaces where all feel seen, heard, and supported. Through my art, I celebrate everyday stories, honor lived experiences, and challenge the false narratives that hinder understanding and connection. I believe healing begins by reconnecting with the land, ourselves, and each other. Growth requires embracing discomfort, challenging norms, and prioritizing progress over perfection.
