Medium:
Mixed Media 2D “There is an innate need inside me to create,” says Caleigh Parsons. “I have to create for my well-being. But what inspires me is fashion, architecture, textiles, and other art.”
Caleigh paints intuitively using acrylic paint, oil pastels, and other mediums to create colorful and bold layers and shapes on canvas, paper, and wood. The end result is representational of a vibrant conversation.
“My work is colorful, layered, and whimsical. You can feel a multitude of emotions in my paintings. And that’s a reflection of me because I’m constantly carrying juxtaposing feelings and emotions at all times.”

What prompted you to become an artist?
I have wanted to be an artist my entire life, but never truly had the guts to pursue it. At the age of 45, after the pandemic, I realized that it was now or never.
What advice would you give to a young artist just starting out?
Immerse yourself in an artistic community. Even if you live in a small town, you can find a couple of people who have a creative practice. Get involved with them in whatever way you can.
How do you know when a piece is finished?
When someone buys it. I love to take pieces that haven’t sold over the course of two or three years and turn it into something new.
