Nicholas Leigh is a contemporary landscape painter. He was born in Cumbria in 1982, where he now lives since his studies at Leeds College of Art and Design and Loughborough University.

His paintings reflect the experience of being in the landscape, which are often dramatic images of mountains and bold cityscapes. They convey the fleeting effect of light with attention to colour and abstract painterly processes, mixed with photorealist impressions, to give a hightened sense of feel and reality, to scenes from the natural world and urban environments.

He is now a practising artist, working mainly in oils and other mixed media, and has undertaken a number of private commissions, as well as producing paintings for exhibition.
