YOUME FOCUSES ON THREE THINGS:

Allowing creativity to enter the home.

Creating paintings that are specifically for you.

Providing a unique reason to bring people together.

WHY IS ADAM LEECH DOING THIS?

Meeting people and learning about their lives inspires me.

Creativity is more fun and meaningful when the content is directly related to those involved.

I believe there are many art lovers who are looking for a legitimate and reasonable alternative to commercial galleries.

BUY A PAINTING

If you are interested in the YouMe project the most interesting thing you can do is buy a painting. Contact me and we can begin a collaboration that will end with a party and a new work of art in your home!

THE SOCIAL ASPECT

When you buy a painting you are also endorsing a new and innovative approach to art and community. By sidestepping the commercial gallery and engaging directly with the artist you gain intimate access to the creative life of an artist. By hosting a presentation party in your home you are building a community that can continue to grow and deepen.

The presentation parties are a great way to bring together friends to enjoy the unveiling of a new work of art.

During the party Adam Leech will give a talk about his creative process and tell the story of how your painting was made.

If you would like to be invited to one of these events please contact me.

THE YOUME SCRAPBOOK

Periodically I will create a book that will bring together the social aspect of YouMe with the artistic aspect. The book will have high quality reproductions of the paintings, photos of the presentation parties, stories, and some interesting information about all those involved. Subscribe under newsletter and I will keep you informed on when the first book is finished.
