About
Hi, I’m Hallie LeBlanc: mamma, wildflower enthusiast, and visual artist!
Having graduated from Kendall College of Art and Design with a Master of Fine Arts, I now live in the Creston neighborhood in Grand Rapids, Michigan. I spend much of my time teaching in after-school art programs, hiking or watching migratory birds. Abundance is my multi-media platform for artistic expression.
My eye-catching work results from lots of distinct skills and techniques that I’ve gained through years of working on my passion. From large scale chalk walls to detailed oil paintings, textile designs, and bridal bouquet drawings, I’m able to create vibrant art pieces that beautifully depict my client’s vision, every time.
With that said, I thrive on creative freedom. The action of taking a simple idea and injecting my artistry skills empowers me to create something really special. Whether that’s an intricate illustration, a custom oil painting or otherwise, I love to combine my skills of being a creative powerhouse, director, designer, consultant and maker.
Creating masterful, heirloom art pieces ultimately takes a lot of one-on-one work with my client. But the end result is always a well-thought-out, exciting product that surpasses expectations!
