Leah is a glass artist with a focus on sculptural work. She works mainly in hot glass, however enjoys the diversity and challenge of working with other material processes as well.

Most recently, Leah was an artist in residence with Fuse Makerspace in partnership with the International Arts and Culture Centre. In 2019 Leah was selected for the inaugural Collider Artist Residency, a peer nominated position that invited local artists to make Contemporary Calgary and the former Centennial Planetarium their studio and community hub.

Leah cites “Home” as an important influence throughout her life and work. A strong sense of family has influenced her art practice, with a particular emphasis on the literal and abstract concept of childhood memories. Play, pattern and colour are embedded into her work to evoke memories of toys, games, and a childlike sense of fun. Her work often seeks the balance between youthful whimsy and the deep roots of family and place.

Leah has a BFA in Glass from the Alberta University of Arts, and is born and raised in Calgary, Alberta, where she currently lives with her family of 7.
