Lucile Leighton was born in Chicago, where she enjoyed a long career as an artist and teacher. She studied at the School of the Art Institute (SAIC) as well as the Evanston Academy of Fine Arts, the Chicago Academy of Fine Arts, and the Illinois Institute of Technology, with Misch Kohn. She and her husband, documentary filmmaker Robert Leighton, traveled extensively, and Leighton was said to be especially fond of the Far East. Leighton was a founding member of Exhibit A Gallery, an artistic cooperative in Chicago, and her works—in oil, acrylic, drawing, watercolor, and printmaking—were exhibited widely in Chicago and across the United States.
