About
Leah is a botanical artist.
She has always been invested in the arts. She poured herself into the world of dance, followed by yoga, and the art of teaching both. When becoming a mother she needed a way to spin things into gold, to alchemize within the process of becoming, and she began creating jewelry.
It wasn’t until 2020, when Leah started the 100 day project that she had the courage to practice her art. She painted a flower every day, and that became a portal of peace during that demanding time. She has continued painting, because the process of capturing the ephemeral beauty of flowers is a life giving practice.
Her work is offering glimpses of beauty back to this world that generously offers so much. It is an invitation into the art of noticing and honoring what has been lost. She believes that being surrounded by beauty is a powerful act. She is from NY, and currently lives in Lancaster, PA with her family, and is a co-owner of Third Story.
“I long for the time where humans were deeply connected to the land - abundant with carpets of ancient bluebells, snowdrops, and daffodils. I find solace in closely observing botanicals, and in doing so deepening my understanding of myself.
I am intrigued by the Edwardian era of plant discovery, cultivation and documentation. When so much of the natural world was being understood and shared for the first time. May my work be a vehicle for your unique nature to feel seen and celebrated.“
