Abstract cartography paintings by Christina Leigh
Landscape and Places
A virtual exhibition with Women in Arts Network, where artists reflect on the places that stay with them. Through observation and memory, each work holds the quiet space between what is seen and what is felt, where landscapes and lived moments remain present over time.
Hosted by: Women in Arts Network
Tantalus, Waiheke Island, New Zealand
Acrylic on board, 9×12 inches
$699
Inspired by time spent at Tantalus Estate on Waiheke Island, this piece captures the warmth and quiet discovery of the vineyard landscape. Guided by the layered character of Syrah, deep reds, soft rose tones, and flowing blues move through the composition, echoing the curves of the valley. The work holds a sense of richness and movement, reflecting both the energy of the place and the feeling of a moment that lingers.
Featured Products
Little House is an abstract landscape inspired by the sensory palette of a Provence style rosé from Waiheke Island, New Zealand, layering soft salmon pinks, coral glow, peach toned warmth, and pearly mineral whites to evoke sunlight, freshness, and the quiet pleasure of place experienced through color rather than depiction. The composition moves gently, like morning light across water, balancing brightness and restraint to capture the feeling of warmth, acidity, and air that lingers long after the first impression.

Custom Painting Commission - Abstract Cartography [frame not included]
A collaborative, made-to-order artwork
Hand painted by CLR Creations. 100% GENUINE HAND-PAINTED ART.
Every one of my paintings is produced with oil or acrylic paint, painted on a blank surface. No printing, digital painting, or photocopying process is used.
Choice of surface: Cotton Canvas, Linen Canvas, Birchwood Panel. I use quality archival materials which is intended to last centuries.
CLR Creations accepts a limited number of commissions annually for private and commercial interiors. Create custom map art of any location. Each work is informed by meaningful experiences, such as a favorite travel memory, a life milestone, or the distinct character of a resort, boutique hotel, or workspace. The painting becomes a visual narrative, translating place and memory into layered texture, color, and movement designed to live thoughtfully within its environment.
Throughout the process, you’re invited into key moments of decision-making. Sketches, references, and progress images help guide the work as it takes shape, while still leaving room for intuition and material response.

Medium: 12” x18” up to 18” x 24”

How to Order
1. Select the product, choose the size, add your personalization, add to cart and place the order.
2. Send me the address, city, state or coordinates of the location you want painted.
3. Within 24-48 hours, I will reach-out to begin the collaboration process.
4. After the design is approved, I will hand-paint the work according to your choice and send the painting to you.
Each commission takes approximately 6–8 weeks from execution to delivery. Projects may be extended based on scale, complexity, material selection, or overall scope of the commission. The result is a one-of-a-kind artwork where personal journeys, meaningful places, or moments of transition are translated into a visual map—one shaped by experience, presence, and connection.
Production & Shipping
Painting Time: 6-7 Weeks
Shipping Time: 2-8 Business Days
This timeline may vary depending on the size and complexity of your painting.
Delivery methods are determined by surface type, size, and installation requirements to ensure the artwork arrives in optimal condition and is appropriate for the project environment.
Flexible surfaces, including linen, cotton canvas, and select mounted works, may be shipped rolled for transport when scale or destination requires it. Rolling reduces shipping volume and risk during transit, with final stretching or mounting completed upon arrival by a professional framer or installer. Smaller flexible works may be shipped flat and fully prepared when appropriate.
Inflexible surfaces such as birch wood panel are shipped flat and fully supported. These works are crated or boxed with rigid protection to prevent movement, warping, or surface damage. Larger scale panel works may require custom crating and freight delivery.
Size plays a determining role in delivery logistics. Small and medium works are typically shipped via standard fine art carriers, while large format or architectural works may require freight shipping, white glove delivery, or coordinated installation. All delivery methods are selected to align with conservation standards and project timelines.

[Frame not included]
Electric yellows, molten oranges, deep oxides, and luminous blues flow across the composition like an aerial map of thermal terraces. Layered contour bands echo mineral deposits formed slowly over time, while bright turquoise pathways suggest runoff channels cutting through warm earth. The painting becomes an energetic cartography of water, heat, and motion.
Printed as a fine art postcard on thick matte paper, this piece offers a small, tactile way to hold the landscape. It can be framed, gifted, or sent as a thoughtful note.

Mapping Experience, Shaping Space
Christina Leigh is a studio artist based in Savannah, Georgia, working under the name CLR Creations. Her abstract cartography paintings explore how movement through the world shapes memory and identity, treating maps as lived experience rather than fixed geography. She creates original works that hold the layered impressions of travel and time, alongside fine art prints that extend this language across different spaces and scales. CLR Creations also offers commissioned pieces, developed through conversation and reflection, where personal journeys, meaningful places, or moments of transition are translated into a visual map—one shaped by experience, presence, and connection.
