Kaleigh Marie Fitzgerald is a Canadian born, Atlanta based artist who recently graduated from Georgia State University in May of 2018 with a BFA in Drawing and Painting and a Minor in Spanish. While still in university, Kaleigh studied art and language internationally, receiving her Spanish minor while studying abroad in Barcelona, Spain, and attending an artist residency in Greece lead by Craig Dongoski.
Kaleigh combines traditional oil painting and sculptural installations to examine the powerful symbolic and symbiotic relationship between humans and their environment and to subsequently bring to life the allegorical spaces existing within the subconscious. Kaleigh has shown her artwork in various group exhibitions around Atlanta and in Greece at galleries such as MINT, Mammal, The Bakery, Day & Night Projects, and the Ionion Center for the Arts and Culture.
