Working across oil painting, print and digital mediums, Leigh's personal representational style takes inspiration from human individuality and character, and everyday scenes and objects. The primary concern in his image making is to create images that engage the viewer on an instinctual, human level.

Leigh has trained privately, at NMIT (Northern Metropolitan Institute of Tafe, now Melbourne Polytechnic), and at the VCA (Victorian College of the Arts), and has exhibited at galleries and cafes in the Riverina region, Melbourne and Taiwan.
