Artist Bio
Leigha Perez is a self taught artist and fashion illustrator based in New York and surrounding areas. She has graduated from The Fashion Institute of Technology in NYC in 2019 on the course of Fashion Design, and has since worked in the Bridal Industry. Upon graduation, Leigha found herself as the alterations manager of a bridal boutique and later explored all the different areas of the bridal world, such as styling and buying. All the while, she never stopped practicing her true passion — sketching.
Leigha decided to take the two aspects of her career that she loves the most — fashion illustration and weddings — and combined the two in the hopes of chasing her ultimate dream of capturing weddings through her art style.
Artist Statement
Every piece I create, is created out of the true magic in the world — love. Capturing the most important moments of your life… weddings, bridal showers, baby showers, family portraits… that feels like my destiny. I taught myself at a young age to fall in love with the process of creating art. It is such an integral part of my being that I cannot imagine a world without it.
