Christina Leigh is a studio artist based in Savannah, Georgia, working under the name CLR Creations. Her practice centers on abstract cartography, approaching maps not as technical diagrams but as visual systems that suggest circulation, memory, and movement through land. Her paintings translate geographic experience into layered compositions where color, line, and structure echo the rhythms of terrain and travel. Through this approach, landscape becomes both physical geography and personal archive, recording the ways identity forms through place.

Leigh’s relationship with art began early through formal training at the Pinellas County Center for the Arts, a conservatory modeled program that treated creative practice as both discipline and language. This foundation continued through her studies at Florida Southern College, where she completed a dual Bachelor of Fine Arts in Studio Art and Graphic Design with a minor in Art History. Her academic training emphasized visual literacy, historical context, and the relationship between image making and cultural narrative. She later earned a Master of Science in Marketing from Southern New Hampshire University, an experience that strengthened the organizational and strategic frameworks that now support her studio practice.

Alongside formal education, Leigh’s artistic perspective has been shaped through extensive travel and independent study in major museums and cultural institutions. Time spent studying historical works at the National Gallery in London, the Smithsonian Institution in Washington D.C., the New Orleans Museum of Art, the Prado Museum in Madrid, the Uffizi Gallery in Florence, the Vatican Museums in Rome, and the Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya in Barcelona deepened her understanding of how artists across centuries have translated land, power, and cultural identity through visual form.
