Description

Leslie Hiatt: Visions of Paradise

Step into a world where memory, nature, and imagination dissolve into luminous color and rich textures. Curated by Antonio Permuy, this solo exhibition of artist Leslie Hiatt invites viewers into her signature Impressionistic landscapes where ethereal florals drift through suspended dreamlike, atmospheric spaces and connect you with realms just out of reach of the senses. Alongside these beloved works,

Visions of Paradise unveils a selection of her recent mythology-inspired pieces and other rarely seen creations, offering a deeper glimpse into the evolving language of her practice.

Hiatt’s work is rooted in a reverence for nature, yet it transcends the observable surface, becoming something more intimate, otherworldly, and felt. Layers of rich texture and radiant color unfold across her canvases, evoking fleeting moments, inner landscapes, and serene mythologies unfolding like dreams in each piece. A Florida-based multidisciplinary artist originally from New York, Hiatt brings a breadth of experience, skill, and refinement to her work with a career that spans museum and institutional collections, major corporate commissions, and exhibitions supported by the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA).

Both immersive and contemplative, Leslie Hiatt: Visions of Paradise invites viewers to wander, linger, and lose themselves in a realm where the natural and the imagined gently intertwine to create something singular, beautiful, and memorable.
