Biography

LeeAnn Love (b. 1975) is an ecological artist between Nashville, Tennessee and East Lothian, Scotland. Ever blending art and science, she holds an Honors degree in Biology, with an art minor, from Middle Tennessee State University and a master’s degree in Expressive Therapies from Lesley University. Love’s recent work draws upon her travels to her ancestral lands of Scotland; this has led to a continued unpacking of colonialism through embracing earth honoring and land based collaborative practices. Through painting, printmaking, and natural pigment exploration, her practice bridges the intersection of heritage, belonging, spirit of place, reciprocity, sustainability, and environmentalism. Love’s work has been featured in East Lothian Life and Clover + Bee magazines. She has exhibited nationally and internationally, in both solo and group shows, including Out of the Blue Gallery in Cambridge, Massachusetts, ClearStory Arts in Chattanooga, Tennessee, and Gallery27 in Dunbar, Scotland.

LeeAnn is also a Board Certified Art Therapist and an arts educator. She served as the cofounder and art therapy director of MyCanvas, a mobile community arts program for diverse youth, an Adjunct Art Therapy Professor at Trevecca University, a Community Muralist in Greater Boston and Nashville, and creator of Heal with heART, LeeAnn’s art therapy and counseling private practice for youth, families, and young adults. Most recently, LeeAnn has been selected as an Artist in Residence for the Verdancy Project in Troutdale, Oregon for 2026. She continues to train and supervise art therapists. LeeAnn also facilitates art workshops with HAPI, the Healing Arts Project Incorporated, for adults in mental health and addiction recovery, where she was recently honored with the Jane & Dick Baxter Dedication Award.

LeeAnn splits her time between wandering in the woods and communing with the sea. She can be found investigating intricate rock patterning, tracking down bark beetle markings, or holding dance parties with her nephews.
