Leon Holmes is an international award-winning Australian artist, lecturer and ambassador, who has made himself a global name as being one of the most enthusiastic and successful professionals of his trade - Plein Air Oil Painting.
Born and raised in Perth, Leon's career started with a wide range of artistic fields including Printmaking, Graphic Design, Art Direction, Illustration and Photography before the artist made his dream come true becoming a fulltime artist in 2003.
Leon is using only the finest art materials available to produce artworks of an exceptional quality that are standing up to demand of his serious collectors base and competition around the world.
The majority of Holmes' works are painted from life 'En Plein Air' (in the open) and are capturing the beauty of natural light and colours of various scenes including landscapes, seascapes and portraits. Challenged by the forever changing conditions surrounding him, the artist has adapted to work quickly which resulted in dynamic and vibrant studies that are also inspiring the artist's larger studio works.
