Sam Leahy is an Australian-born artist now based in Japan, whose vibrant, nature-inspired works draw from the distinct landscapes of both countries. A lifelong passion for drawing deepened after relocating to Japan, where the contrasting natural environments sparked a creative evolution. Sam’s bright, dynamic pieces celebrate the organic beauty of Australian flora and the Japanese appreciation for seasonal change, reflecting a blend of cultural and environmental influences.

Inspired by the nature and lifestyles of the places Sam has lived, the work often features bold colors and intricate details that evoke a sense of place and nostalgia. The unique plants of Australia, reminiscent of Sam’s upbringing, frequently appear in the artwork, creating a bridge between the two countries’ natural worlds.
