Artist Submissions – Leanna Marie Manning

Through the sensory experience of mark making, Leanna builds confidence and imagines worlds that are expansive and feel good to be a part of. She turns to art when she feels stuck, when she’s overwhelmed, and when she doesn’t know what to do. Her creative practice helps locate herself in her body in a world that’s often chaotic to be a part of.

Leanna is a neurodivergent writer, editor, and creative. She plays with materials that feel good to touch, to see, to smell, working with the sensorial and affective level of her materials and neurodivergences.
