Leah Brown is a person who constantly questions the nature of reality...ie: What is real and what is not, and the very definition of reality. Her sculptures, her installations, and the rest of her artwork is often motivated by the idea of dreams, the notion of dismissing our dreams and why we often do so.  The result of this dreamy groundwork is sometimes startling, often ghostlike, and always unique and compelling.

After her near year-long stay in Spartanburg, Leah was off to New York City, where she joined her long-time boyfriend, Peter Symons, also an artist. At the moment, she is working as a sculptor for an Art Fabrication studio called KB Projects, LLC, alongside some of the field's most established and renowned artists. In addition to her work for the studio, Leah is focusing on some new illustration work which is based on a traditional Victorian hair-working technique called Sepia Painting (a unique coloring process using pigment from crushed human hair.) Though she is enjoying her challenging and productive time in the big city, Leah is looking forward to soon getting representation in New York so she can return "home" to the South to continue building her provocative and insightful body of work.
