Karma Leigh is a Chicana  educator and artist from Colorado who was blessed to grow up between two worlds, the urban life of the city and the natural wonders of the Rockies. Both have inspired her work as an artist and educator. Karma has always had an innate desire for exploration and traveled to many cities in the US landing her in Phoenix for three years. It was there her passion to create, and hone her skills as an artist, were fueled by the many prolific artists she was surrounded by.

 

Karma is a self-taught painter, muralist, and curator.  Her talents are not limited to the paint and palette; she has helped organize successful vendor markets for FemFest, taught for the EPIC Arts program out of Redline Gallery, taught with Museo de las Americas for ten years and suicide-prevention program, Voz y Corazon for six years. 

 

Currently, Karma has found her home as an art teacher at Lake Middle School.
