Leith is registered in the Smithsonian Institute after being chosen as the Official Artist for the 1996 Republican National Convention in San Diego. In addition, she did a painting for the 1997 Palm Springs Nortel Film Festival, The Palm Springs Film and Entertainment Museum and the Desert Sunshine Express. Leith was asked to be the Official Artist for the 50th Anniversary of the Cannes Film Festival, and in addition she has been asked to have a traveling tour to the Kremlin and Hermitage Museum in Russia, and to do a joint venture with the Annenberg Center that has developed into an ongoing work of art to be implemented in schools, universities and public facilities all over the United States. Leith was interviewed on Larry King Live on March 19, 2005 and also in 2005 Leith was commissioned to paint 20 paintings through the Fine Arts Council for the City of Los Angeles, California and she has completed the commission.

Leith is known to a coterie of important collectors that include Prime Minister Netanyahu, Chozu Yoshii, Robert Gore Rifkind, Congressman Gilchrest and Congresswoman Mary Bono. She is noted for her landscapes, fields of flowers, still life, marine life and portraits. Leith is broadening her scope of creativity to include a series of Mandala Paintings for the New Millennium and Transceiver Sculpture as a form of energy enhancing art, to be used in public and corporate buildings such as Eisenhower Medical Center, where one was recently installed. New subjects present themselves as a challenge so long as they contain or have the potential of energy and movement. When not painting in her studio, Leith spends time with her family and travels extensively, while gaining new inspirations along the way. An active sports woman, she excels at tennis, riding, skiing and swimming. Leith has experienced the thrill of skydiving, has taken flying lessons, and survived some whitewater rafting and scuba diving, the latter in the beautiful coral reefs off Papua New Guinea.
