Leigh J. McCloskey is a modern Renaissance Man. His interest, knowledge and learning ranges from history, religion, mythology and esotericism to string theory, quantum physics and the multidimensional nature of consciousness. His work reveals many depths of knowledge and craftsmanship that could only have emerged from his fidelity to intellectual, creative and personal excellence.

 He has deeply studied Hermeticism, Alchemy and Kabbalah and has hosted a twice weekly salon at his home for over twenty years. He has contributed numerous essays on topics ranging from William Blake and the Heroic Imagination to Jacob Boehme and Theosophical Thought.

 

Leigh considers his acting career to be his patron. His success as an actor has given him the opportunity to work as an artist unfettered by the demands and ever-changing tastes of the contemporary art world. His art reflects a quest for the heart of creativity and imaginative vision. Leigh considers the depth of his work the outgrowth of his years spent away from the world (while enjoying an acting career) exploring avenues of creative expression that owe no allegiance to contemporary fads or beliefs. Leigh considers himself more an explorer than artist, his art being the outcome of his active journey through the realms of creative vision. For Leigh his art is how he asks questions of a lasting nature and his means for living an examined life.
