“Art for me is a companion that allows me to understand myself and the world in ways that I would otherwise avoid. ”
In my home studio in Niles, Michigan
Hi! I’m Leila Victorin, founder of Leila A Creates. I’m a Haitian-American, Michigan-based painter . My art has been about many things but ultimately it has become way to understand my place in the world and talk about life, representation, and finding pockets of joy.
I work primarily in acrylic and oil paint, and most recently embroidery.
If you’re new to my work, welcome! Thanks for joining me on this journey. I hope to connect with you.
For those of you who have been here a while and have watched me and my work grow, I’m forever grateful for your presence.
<3
