LEILA PARNIAN

Leila Parnian believes the most powerful thing she can do is to make people feel things without ever saying a word. That is her art. She creates to bring light into spaces of darkness. With no formal training, Leila pushed herself to learn different styles of art from oil painting on canvas to spray painting large scale murals. “I want to inspire aspiring artists to create a full-time position for themselves in this field. I also want to inspire those who do not believe they are creative, to create!” With immigrant parents who encouraged her to study in the medical field, she pushed boundaries and followed her passion, even when she was told she would never make it. Fast forward to today and she is living her dream. Her biggest advice is to take someone saying no as a speedbump and not a stop sign. She embraces rejection.

Leila was born in Scottsdale, Arizona to architects Abdolhay and Parvaneh Parnian, received her undergraduate degree in Economics from Arizona State University in 2006 and continued with a Masters in Urban Planning from Arizona State University graduating in 2009. At the time of her graduation, due to the failed economic market, nobody was hiring in development so she went to help her family business, Parnian Furniture. She worked her way up the company ladder and now is the Vice President of Parnian. Leila moved her art studio into the old spray paint booth inside Parnian, where the public can view her painting live while she is there. When she is not in the store, she is painting murals off site. The showroom and her studio is open to the public Monday – Saturday from 10am – 6pm and Sundays from 12m – 5pm. Leila hosts TheraPour ® & PartyPour ® classes in her studio a couple times a month. TheraPour ® & PartyPour ® kits are also available for purchase. Information for classes can be found on the website and on her Instagram @leilaparnian 

When Leila is not working on art, she is active at Parnian helping clients with Interior Design. She enjoys playing the piano, working out and making comedic skits for social media. Fun fact about Leila – she is a 3 time All American Racquetball Player and won collegiate nationals in 2007.

She's on another level. I'm trying to buy all I can, before her prices go through the roof.

I commissioned Leila to create a custom lion painting for my wall. I had an idea of what I wanted but I let her use her creative vision and she made me the most impressive masterpiece for my wall. I have received so many compliments and couldn’t be happier. She truly is a talent on so many levels and I highly recommend her to anyone that has real taste for art, I assure you, you will not be disappointed.

Amazing, unique artist with one of a kind color combos. Leila has done a few custom pieces for my home and I couldn’t be happier. She took the time to advise me on what would look best with my decor. I love love love the new addition to my art collection.

Leila: Is an amazing and extremely talented artist. I provided her with a rough sketchy idea of the custom art I was looking for. My instructions were very vague based on the basic idea I had in my head. I do not know of any 1 artist that can nail what you're looking for right out of the gate! Her custom artwork now hangs in my living room for guests to see.

Leila is SO easy to work with! I purchased some custom art for a client of mine and we couldn't be happier. Leila exceeded our expectations for the piece and also delivered the piece on time (which doesn't happen often when you are working with custom pieces directly from artists). I can't wait to include some of her custom in my next project!
