Artist Biography 

Leigh Jeneroux's discrete bodies of work resemble mixed-media, choose-your-own-adventure stories, where larger, often colourful sculptures employing quasi-scientific methodologies are enriched by and interconnected through accompanying drawings, paintings, and participatory engagement. She creates work that contemplates the intersection of sociology, psychology, science, metaphysics, and spirituality. Using semiotics and language—often with colour and humour—she studies universal human experiences from deeply introspective to broad sociological perspectives.

This interdisciplinary approach emerged from a unique path: after graduating from Mount Allison University's BFA program in 1991, Jeneroux taught sculpture internationally for ten years in Turkey and Ecuador before pursuing a master's degree in Counselling Psychology in Mississippi. The role of community-building and social engagement became central themes in her work, eventually leading her to complete a master's degree in Architecture at the University of Toronto, where her focus on community-oriented design and space-making in the public realm deepened.

For nearly a decade, she worked as a project architect in Toronto specializing in collaborative community-centred design—from container communities in Haiti to adaptive reuse housing projects and scalable infrastructure for non-profits. This experience reinforced a deep conviction that thoughtfully designed structures and participatory processes enable human connection and strengthen collective resilience.

In recent years, Jeneroux has deliberately refocused these diverse streams of expertise into her contemporary art practice. As a sculptor, painter, and social investigator based in London, Ontario, she continues to build a practice that bridges creative expression with rigorous investigation. Her, Meet Me Where I'm At series applies this methodology across different communities, positioning art as both research tool and catalyst for measurable social transformation.

Her work has been recognized through awards for architecture and public art and can be found in public and private collections in Canada and internationally.
