Work in Progress

Work in Progress invites you into the heart of my creative process, an unfiltered journey through the beauty of art in all its stages. Surrounded by finished pieces, abandoned works, sketches, and evolving ideas, my studio becomes a testament to the ever-changing human experience. Each brushstroke, experiment, and half-formed thought reflects our collective journey—resiliently adapting, rebuilding, and reinventing in the face of life’s currents. Just as I take risks with new mediums and techniques, viewers are encouraged to reflect on their own unfinished chapters, embracing the ebb and flow of life’s uncertainties. Join me for an intimate look at my journey as an artist and individual, revealing not only polished works but also the magic of the process, the struggle, and the transformation. This exhibition celebrates the beauty of imperfection, growth, and resilience—a true “work in progress.” - Leesa Grey Pitt.

As an artist, my practice is a journey of constant reinvention, much like life itself. My work captures the ebb and flow of growth, healing, and resilience, mirroring the way we adapt, rebuild, and embrace imperfection. Each piece, from finished paintings to incomplete sketches, is a chapter in an evolving story—a raw expression of my inner world shaped by joy, grief, and the passage of time. I explore dualities: light and shadow, the delicate and the powerful, the seen and the hidden, creating art that navigates identity, transformation, and our fragile connection to nature. Experimentation is at the heart of my process, as I continuously seek balance between what is polished and what remains untouched. In sharing my journey, I hope to offer others a space for reflection and connection, encouraging them to embrace their own “work in progress” with courage and compassion.
