Leah’s artistic journey began as a freshman in high school, when she won her very first first-place art award for a close-up acrylic painting of a sunflower on canvas. From floral arrangements and wedding décor to large-scale murals and commercial window art, creativity has always been at the heart of everything she does.

In 2019, Leah’s daughter asked if she knew how to facepaint so she could paint her. Leah ordered some professional skin-safe paints, instantly fell in love with the art form, and never looked back. During the 2020 pandemic, she honed her skills, and by 2021 she officially launched Magikal Moments Art Co. at a local flea market, marking the beginning of what would become a truly Magikal Journey! 

Today, Leah is one of the most recognizable facepainters in the Chattanooga and North Georgia areas, known for her award-winning facepainting, colorful murals, and eye-catching commercial window art.

Her artwork has been featured by businesses and events through the TN Valley, including Caffeine Addicts Coffee & Cafe, Universal Joint Restaurant, The Chattanooga Lookouts, The Chattanooga Choo Choo, The Little Debbie Hamilton County Fair, Ketner’s Mill Fair, LaFayette Farmers Market, City of Chattanooga, and Hamilton County Parks and Recreation — along with many more businesses, festivals, and community events across the region.

From New York to the Florida Keys, Leah’s incredible art has traveled far and wide — but home will always be right here with her family, friends, and local community!
