Through these movements and expressions of color, he relives a sense of place and happening in nature. Leith earned his bachelor's degree at Fort Lewis College in Durango, Colorado, before relocating to San Francisco to earn his M.F.A. in painting from the Academy of Art University. He has exhibited throughout the United States and lives and works in Andover, New Hampshire.
