Born and raised in Newcastle-Upon-Tyne, Leigh Lambert has been drawing since he could hold a pencil—his talent evident long before any formal training. Now based in Warwickshire, Leigh draws inspiration from his northern roots, transforming scenes of his childhood into nostalgic, heart warming works that celebrate the joy of youth.
Working mainly in oils, his signature style contrasts monochromatic streetscapes with vivid bursts of colour, capturing both the grit and charm of everyday life. A self-taught artist with national acclaim, Leigh was shortlisted as Best Up and Coming Artist at the Fine Art Trade Guild Awards in 2014, and his sought-after limited editions continue to sell out in record time.
