Leah began her career as an artist in 1982 after she graduated with a BFA from Syracuse University, but put it on hold to work in the fashion industry for the next 15 yrs. In 1995 she resumed her studies at the Art Students League of New York and in 2001 quit her job as a model agent and started to show and sell her work. Her work has been exhibited in numerous places including, Small Works show at the Salander O’Reilly Gallery NYC, Gallery 100 Saratoga Springs, NY. She has had solo- exhibitions at the Mimosa Gallery in Saratoga Springs, NY, Crimson Gallery Saratoga Springs, NY, Gardenworks Gallery, Salem, NY and was the featured artist in 2008 “ASA Landscape for Landsake “ exhibition in Washington County, NY. This year she was featured at Riverfront Gallery, Schuylerville, NY .
"There is a certain freedom in my use of mixed media that lets me loose myself in whatever subject I choose to paint, the colors that I use are also very important. The chicken series has been an exploration of the world of Heritage Breed Chickens. The best part being that they seem to resemble some of the characters I knew in the fashion world.” Today Leah splits her time between her work in NYC as Exhibition Outreach Program Director at the Art Students League of New York and her studio/home in Salem, NY.
