  • Notes:
  • LEO began her career by studying art in high school and continuing at the Art Institute of Ft. Lauderdale. She moved from Florida to St. Croix in 1987, until in 1989, she says, Hurricane Hugo blew me to St. John. OConnell fell in love with the islands color, its flora and fauna. She was the Caneel Bay Resorts artist in residence for eight years, before moving to St. Thomas. She took off in the late 1990s for the Napa Valley in Northern California. OConnell became the first artist-in-residence at Napa Valleys prestigious Robert Mondavi winery. I had free rein to roam the vineyards, she says — adding with a laugh, and all the wine I could drink. LEO returned to St. Thomas, where she opened the Blue Turtle Gallery, now Gallery St. Thomas, which she sold in 2003. I knew I would come back to St. Thomas, she says, but I wanted to explore, look at a new pallette. She opened another gallery and studio 1.5 years later. She was the resident artist at the Ritz-Carlton St. Thomas, where she conducted twice-weekly classes. LEO taught everyone from CEOs to elementary school children. LEO firmly believes in giving back to her community. She supported several organizations by contributing major works for fund-raisers, and she worked closely with the V.I. Council on the Arts for years. She brought new life to the children's ward at the Roy L. Schneider Hospital in 2004 (now the Schneider Regional Medical Center), painting the walls with murals. She delights in talking about the rewards of her labors. "I get emails from fifty-year-olds, lawyers, doctors, thanking me. Some even have had their own shows," she says. "It can be life-changing for them." In 2011, LEO experienced personal tragedy which caused her to lay down her brush for almost two years. “My husband was murdered and I just didn’t have the desire to paint beauty.” LEO moved to Sausalito, CA where she continues to paint and teach painting. LEO’s art brings life to a multitude of collectors including Judy Collins, Chris Madden, Jenna Wolfe, Phil Simms, The Newman Estate, the Robert Mondavi Winery, the Ritz Carlton of St Thomas and the Peter Island Resort.
