Aleesha is genuinely inspired by nature, geometry, and the way that people thrive and grow through playing with the world around them. Her goal when creating art is to connect people to their inner child, aiming to inspire joy, curiosity, exploration, wonder, and the feeling of being small. Now, she is beginning to bring her own ideas to life, and returns to Muir to install her own permanent piece as Muir's Artist in Residence.
