​
Handleigh's work has been exhibited nationally and internationally at galleries including the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia, Habourfront Centre and Canadian Museum of Immigration at Pier 21. 

Handleigh holds a MFA from NSCAD University and a BFA from OCAD University. Handleigh is a Scarborough-born artist, currently living and working in K'jipuktuk (Halifax), Nova Scotia.​
