Leah began making natural paints and eliminated all toxins from her studio in 2009, immediately after becoming pregnant with her first son Django. Natural Earth Paints, was born a few years later with only two products: the Children’s Earth Paint Kit and the Earth Oil Paint Kit and production took place in one small room of their home. Right from the start she wanted to focus on eco-friendly and completely non-toxic art supplies AND very high quality and archival products. She is committed to an eco-friendly business model as reflected by their prestigious Gold certification from Green America - the highest rank for a green business.
