Paint in Paradise
Painting Class with Leah Patterson
About this event
Paint in Paradise is an intimate, guided art experience hosted at Victoria Butterfly Gardens. Led by local painter Leah Patterson, this hands-on workshop invites participants to immerse themselves in the vibrant sights and colours of the tropical conservatory before creating their own nature-inspired artwork.
Guests will begin by exploring the Gardens for inspiration. Observing butterflies, lush foliage, and tropical blooms before settling into the Atrium (outside the gardens) to begin the class. Participants will paint a nature inspired piece designed by Leah (see below!)
Limited Spots Available!

About the Instructor
Leah graduated from York University in 2012 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts and a Bachelor of Education. Following her studies, Leah travelled to Victoria, British Columbia, where she developed a strong interest in the region’s coastal landscape. She relocated to Victoria in 2014 and continues to be influenced by the natural environment of the Pacific Northwest. Leah’s work is informed by observations made during coastal walks, forest hikes, and time spent in natural settings. She documents these experiences through photography and translates them into oil paintings that reflect the character, light, and atmosphere of the surrounding landscape.
