About Us
Hi!
My name is Leanne Wilson.
Art is my passion.
As a child I was always creating and as a teen I would spend all my free time in the art room. As an adult art helped me recover from illness and gave me joy when I needed it most. I studied Interior Design while renovating my home and had a successful career in childcare but ART was always the main fire burning in my heart.
So throwing all caution to the wind, I followed my passion. I left my job, studied Visual Arts and combined my love of teaching with my love of art to create The Little Art Company.
My aim with The Little Art Co is to share the joy that comes from creating art by providing an outlet for EVERYONE to create, learn, play, gather and share their art in Central West NSW.

History
The Little Art Company began in Parkes in 2012 when I recognised the need for an outlet for creative children and adults in Parkes and the Central West. The studio moved to it's current home in Canowindra in 2020 where we look forward to long, bright, colourful and creative future.
Happy Highlights!
