About

Hi, I’m Leeça.

I am an independent documentarian and artist working with portraiture, audio, writing, and mixed-media installation.

My work centers on lineage, belonging, and the continuity of ordinary lives — the stories carried across generations, the landscapes that shape communities, and the emotional memory embedded in place.

After more than three decades in classrooms, listening to young people articulate who they were and who they hoped to become, I began extending that same discipline of attention beyond school walls. What began as individual portraits and recorded conversations is now unfolding into the early stages of a long-term documentary body of work across communities in Canada.

This developing project, Land and Lives, gathers portraits, field notes, and conversations over time. It is the foundation from which other work emerges.

Some encounters are shared as Conversations on The Leeça Podcast, where longer-form audio reflections and interviews are given space to unfold. Others evolve into deeper artistic interpretation through The Lineage of Light, a mixed-media portrait series that further explores selected generational stories.

This work is relational and built through return. It will take years.

Alongside this independent practice, I have undertaken commissioned portrait and event photography for many years. Whether documenting political figures, weddings, or public gatherings, my approach has remained documentary in nature — grounded in presence, expression, and unscripted moments.

I live in Québec City. From here, I continue building this work deliberately, with care for the people whose stories I witness.
