Her early collectors include the Royal Families of Italy and Yugoslavia, Prince Pierre d’Arenburg, Frank Sinatra. Leith first introduced her work in 1991 in a solo exhibition held in Wilmington, Delaware, the second of her exhibitions in Manhattan, was given by Elizabeth Ives Bartholet, who brought Cubism to America and discovered Modigliani. In October 1992, Dr. Jasna Pervan Huertley, critic and art historian at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the United Nations, brought the Artist’s style into focus. “There are many exciting features in Leith’s work. The first impression is one of vivid and exciting colors that represent an enhanced reality. Then there is an almost sculptured effect, which is obtained through a layer of colors. Each piece is painted, and then paint is laid over, again and again. It is only after these steps have been completed that the work is produced in its final form known as Scintillism....It gives the impression of a sculptured impressionism. Her masterful technique complements and enhances her exciting subject matter. It is an innovation in the technique of painting....” David Bomford, former Director of The Getty Museum said, ”Leith Eaton’s paintings are extraordinary!”
