Leah Spencer is the illustrator of Odd Duck Gallery and hails from Andover. The collection combines traditional techniques, contemporary aesthetics, and a subtle wink of humor. Although accessorized, each species is portrayed without exaggeration to highlight the inherent charm and character of animals.
These pieces are drawn with pen and ink and embellished with gold metal leaf. By using old-school dip pens instead of a modern pen or marker, the mark-making is given a more organic quality. The audience neutral subjects and minimalist color scheme make these illustrations mood-lighteners for anyone and any space.
By day, Leah works as a Graphic Designer for Film and TV for period productions, creating graphic props and set pieces. Her work can most notably be seen in “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.”
Deep gratitude is extended to all of her APS art teachers, who in addition to instilling technique, made artfulness feel worthy and joyful: Mrs. Chapin, Mr. Stevens, Mrs. Michaud, Mrs. Dunning, and Mr. Parker.
