Gillian moved to the B.C. coast and settled in her new home city, Victoria in 1979, after finishing a three year Interior Design program at Algonquin College in Ottawa. Since then, her life has been poised between her two loves: a stunningly successful Interior Design company, and a growing painting and illustration studio.

Ley Art and Interiors Ltd. was established in 1990. Since then, Gillian has had the privilege of working on high-profile assignments like the redesign of some of the public rooms at Victoria's oldest, leading private club, the prestigious Union Club, to the more sporty and smart Royal Victoria Yacht Club. Most recently she has developed the Design Criteria for the Greater Victoria Harbour Authority properties. Her scope of experience includes the design and renovation of hotel interiors, residences, dental practices and offices.

But Gillian happily moves from large scale projects, to intimate redesigns of bathrooms, kitchens, bed and living rooms for her roster of discerning clients across North America. Gillian's talents are beautifully showcased in the luscious and innovative living environments she creates for her devoted clients. Gillian's strong intuitive sense, style and long-time essence of cool precede her.

The pleasure of working on diverse and exciting interior design projects keeps Gillian engaged with every aspect of the world of interior design and she travels widely, to Europe, especially Italy, and attends industry shows to immerse herself in the rapidly growing array of new ideas, products and colours in the ever-flourishing interior design field.
