Will McLeod is a multidisciplinary artist that specializes in puzzling machine sewn textiles, and paintings and drawings on paper. His works on paper are both free-form and intentional. The fabric pieces are homages to that disposition and are created with a pattern maker’s eye via a paint by numbers process. All McLeod’s compositions are a bit alien and abstract but have a connectivity that grounds their weirdness.

Will’s work has been shown in the upstate area at the Samuel Dorsky Museum of Art, The Fireplace Project, Turley Gallery, Circle 46 Gallery, D’Arcy Simpson Gallery, Prattsville Art Center, Joyce Goldstein Gallery, ArtSee, ArtPort, Incident Report, Art Austerlitz and others, and his art was displayed at New York Fashion week at Spring Studios in NYC.

Notably, in addition to his own practice, McLeod has assisted and acted in film-maker Mark Allen’s films, sewn many of artist Meg Lipke’s slumpy, stuffed paintings, and has designed dresses for FLOTUS Michelle Obama when working for designer Tanya Taylor.

Will lives and works in Hudson, New York.
