Biography
Leanne Davies was born and raised in
Victoria, British Columbia. In 1993, she moved to Toronto to
take a BFA in painting and interdisciplinary studio at York
University. At the same time, she began gigging as a
drummer/songwriter for several (completely obscure) bands in
Toronto’s vibrant indie-rock scene. After completing her BFA in
1996, Leanne (like many of her fellow art school grads) combined
her musical pursuits with a paying job as a new media project
manager during the tech boom of the late ‘90s.
In the spring of 2005, Leanne (now a mother of two) joined with
several of her neighbours to form a residents’ group in the area
around Vaughan Road & Oakwood Avenue in the old City of York.
This marked the point at which she decided to renew her
dedication to both her artwork and to her new community. While
focusing on her painting and her young family, she continues to
use community-based arts as a tool to revitalize her
neighbourhood.
