Biography

 Leanne is a social worker with over twenty-five years of direct practice and ten years teaching experience. She is also mixed media artist interested in diverse art making practices and processes. She completed her PhD entitled Art, Social Work, and Social Change in 2012. Her thesis explored the intersection between art and social work within the community context. The findings of her study indicate art’s potential as a source of (or conduit for) unconscious (intuitive) knowledge within the practice of both disciplines. Leanne works in collaborative, inclusive, and transdisciplinary ways. She has long used art within her social work practice and research with individuals, groups and communities in parallel to her personal art making. Leanne currently works as a Research Assistant within the Social Work Research program where she continues to pursue her research interests in the relationship between art and social work in tandem with projects on knowledge production and utilisation in social work and the human services, and program evaluation within the non-government community services sector. Leanne is also a Senior Researcher with the Family Action where she engaged in undertaking a range of program based research.
