Artist Leah Romano McMeen — Fine Art Inspired by Landscape, Story, and the Human Experience

I’m an artist and designer based in Northwest Indiana, shaped by years of working at the intersection of visual storytelling, community, and design. With 25 years of graphic design experience, I approach painting with a trained eye for composition, structure, and expressive detail. Working primarily in oil, pastel, and watercolor, my work moves between realism and impressionism and explores subjects that extend far beyond the Midwest—from local landmarks to portraits and narratives with national significance. My goal is to evoke presence, emotional resonance, and a sense of meaning through a thoughtful balance of form, atmosphere, and movement.

Vintage Style Posters Featuring Original Artwork

Celebrate the landmarks and spirit of Northwest Indiana through vintage-style posters featuring original artwork by Leah Romano McMeen. Inspired by the iconic WPA travel art of the 1930s, each design combines my hand-drawn artwork with bold color, classic geometry, and period-inspired typography to capture the region’s charm — from dunes and lakeshore scenes to beloved historic sites.

Honoring a Vanished Landmark — and Sharing It Nationally

"Last Light of the Coaling Tower" was accepted to the Chicago Pastel Painter’s Tenth Biennial National Juried Exhibition, Pastels Chicago 2025. This exhibition is especially meaningful — it’s CPP’s 20th anniversary national biennial, a major celebration of pastel art, and I’m honored to have my work included among artists from across the country.
