Leonie Khoury: My painting began in 1996 towards the end of a 10 year sojourn of working and living in Paris. I had initially gone there to study Flute after previously graduating from the NSW Conservatorium of Music in Sydney. I painted under the tutelage of Roland Laforcade and his wife Christine in their atelier in Paris and in return I gave them music lessons. Upon returning to Sydney I enrolled in several courses in life drawing, oil painting and watercolour painting. I also studied drawing at Seaforth TAFE with Anthony Cahill part-time for 2 years. Professional artist friends, whom I had met in Sydney, encouraged me to continue and further my painting activity which first culminated in being part of group shows at the Hazelhurst Regional Gallery and Arts Centre in Gymea, NSW, in 2000 and 2001. Since then I have had several solo shows in Sydney at the Mary Place Gallery in Paddington and at the Sheffer Gallery in Darlington, Sydney. I have also been a part of numerous group shows, the most recent one being held by Defiance Gallery in Sydney in 2018 called "Boat Smoke Bowl". I live and work in Footscray, Victoria.
