"Across the Universe" by Katrina Leggett

About the Artist

Katrina Boza Leggett is an artist educator based in Arlington, TN, who creates vibrant works in acrylic, watercolor, and gouache. With a BA in Art History and a Master’s in Education from the University of Memphis, Katrina combines her passion for teaching with her artistic practice as a middle school art teacher, seizing every spare moment to paint.

Her work invites viewers into a dreamlike world, where colors dance and blend to evoke reflection on moments both cherished and fleeting. Katrina believes that art is a powerful language that communicates when words fall short; our stories are intertwined with the places and people that nourish our souls, and her paintings serve as portals to shared experiences. Embracing the fluidity of paint, she delights in the brightness of color. Her artwork explores themes of identity and memory, capturing the essence of a moment suspended between reality and imagination.

Each piece is like a glimpse into a narrative, drawing viewers into a scene mid-story—familiar yet surreal—leaving space for personal interpretation. Katrina’s paintings are a celebration of life’s transitions, inviting us to treasure what has been and to look forward to what is yet to come.
