Broadwater talks to Leah Thiessen’s continual connection with the land that surrounds her studio nestled on the edge of the Terranora Broadwater in Northern NSW. Thiessen’s work taps into the living energy in nature, drawing on the biodiversity of the bush and mangroves that line the water’s edge and reflect the the raw energy, healing and liveliness of space and place.

Thiessen has been a finalist in the Muswellbrook Art Prize (2021), the John Leslie Prize (2020), the Glover Prize (2020), the Clayton UTZ Art Award (2019), the Gosford Art Prize (2019), the Calleen Art Award (2019, 2016, 2015), the John Leslie Art Prize (2018, 2016) the Pro Hart Outback Art Prize, and the Paddington Art Award among others. She has exhibited nationwide since 2010. Her work is in the Arthur & Suzie Roe Collection.
