About Me

who is leland

Born in Harlem, New York, and raised in a culturally diverse part of Jamaica Queens

It was at the tender age of four that the intensity of a velvet abstract portrait of Malcolm X that hung in the family living room would speak to a young impressionable Leland, and would move him to replicate it's likeness. This was the catalyst for Leland to discover his artist talents, and the moment his family knew he had been blessed with an artistic gift. Seeing his artistic talent his parents would continue to encourage him and allow him to draw and paint most of his free time. As he grew older, Leland's love of art never faded and eventually he would go on to Art and design to study art.

Leland was very fortunate to be mentored by many greats, such as Jazz vibraphonist Roy Ayers, Big Band Leader Illinois Jacquet, and his legendary godfather, vocalist Brook Benton. Often referred to as "The Renaissance Man, Leland has enriched the world over time through various forms of writing, music production, photography, hair styling, interior decorating, and over 30 years of promotions in special event coordination. Leland's various artistic talents have been commissioned by a variety of celebrity clientele which include legendary vocalist Dionne Warwick, comedians Eddie Murphy, and Kevin Hart, heavy weight boxing champs Mike Tyson, and Lamon Brewster, actors Wesley Snipes,Kadeem Hardison, Westley Jonathan, Mos Def, and R&B vocalist Tank, and the list continues to grow.

When asked about life so far, he simply said "I love to create, and I love everything I see and feel about creation."

In an interview in New York at his exhibit in his home town of queens, Leland was stated as saying," I don't sell art, I sell emotion

When speaking of a unique and original Artist who deserves to be on your radar you would want to remember the name Leland Sharp

This New York native is adding immeasurably to the artistic dialogue with his unique visual arts portraits and paintings. His iridescent hyperrealism abstract portraits are simple, yet visually appealing installations. They blanket the emotions of his works with a 3D sparkling vitality of color and are always eye-catchey. As your eyes move from left to right of his work you will notice the subtle changes in the image that seem to make the images move and change in color. This is why its so important to actually see his amazing works in person. Photography of his work is unable to capture the light or movement in the hyperrealism, and iridescent colors he mixes in his creations.

Leland's artwork installations can be found lighting up board rooms, corporate offices, recording studios, many celebrity homes, and murals on the outside of many public and business buildings.

This is why Leland's Art exhibits are truly a must see art experience !

"The world is so full of mystery, made up of so many different things, situations, and people constantly stimulating my imagination". Leland's life has always been painted in a multitude of beautiful colours, which keeps him looking at life through a prism of creativity. "Just having my bare feet planted firmly into Mother Earth gets me

"I don't live to eat, I eat to live"

When he's not in his studio creating, Leland can be found at the beach with his feet buried in the sand, or on long walks in the woods of the eastern shore with his best friend, a 2 1/2 pound chihuahua named Buddha.

"My ultimate desire is to encourage the youth to achieve their greatest potential despite adversity, and to enrich the lives of others with art and my many life experiences "
