Leon McCutcheon
All of the artists represented by
PVA are self-taught. Many have refined their craft independently over the years, in institutions, day
programs, or group residences. Others were encouraged to develop their artistic talents by family
members or friends. While attending Pure Vision Arts, some artists work on commissioned pieces while
others are busy creating a body of work for sale or exhibition.

Leon McCutcheon, born in 1959 in Manhattan, has been drawing since he was a young child. Family memories, music, and fashion have influenced the imagery in his paintings. Leon's grandparents were from South Carolina and his paintings also depict boyhood memories of his visits down South and reflect an awareness of folk art. His mother and his father, a jazz musician, influenced his art by taking him to visit museums and jazz clubs throughout his childhood. Leon currently attends the Pure Vision Arts studio for artists with developmental disabilities in New York City. His paintings are included in many private collections.
