Leigh is a poet, songwriter, guitarist, singer, photo- grapher, painter, collage-maker, teacher, book reviewer, and political activist. This multiplicity of interests might be exhausting for many. For Ms. Harrison, such diverse activity stems from the belief that we must unleash all of our personae, and it comes to fruition in the concept that one should explore all of one's talents in the service of some higher good.

Ms. Harrison has worn many other hats; she is a painter (her watercolor fantasias are surreal and pointillistic), a collage-maker, and photographer whose work documents such diverse subjects as murals, architectural detail, stained glass, neon signs, vanity license plates, flowers, clouds, the wetlands of Connecticut, and the blues scene in New York City.
