Introduction: My clients are generally moved most by my ability to hear their request or story, and translate it into the visual realm. It is an opportunity for both creation and problem solving, and it thrills me. I never compromise my unique way of making marks, my artistry and style, but I listen and marry two worlds in a way that often proves magic! It's a form of collaboration. My work is also quite detailed. I am an illustrator at heart and never loose sight of the architecture and linework within a mural of any size. The best part about my work is making things with my hands everyday. And storytelling. I seek to fill blank spaces, public and private, with original artwork because everyone should have access to beautiful visual stories and both fine and street style artworks.

Leah created a beautiful 4x4 mural for our baby's bedroom. We conveyed our basic idea and she took creative license and the end result was exactly what we wanted. Vibrant colors, wonderful textures and our now 2 year old identifies the animals. We receive compliments every time a new person comes to our home and sees it along with other work by Leah in our home. She's truly a gifted artist!

Leah spoke on an Art panel that I organized for DePaul University--she spoke about combining art and writing. I also hired Leah to do two murals for my daughters' rooms. They are amazing and she is amazing! I can't say enough about the quality of work, kindness, and work ethic. She personalized the images to my daughters' crazy desires. One is a ninja girl riding a giant bird; the other is a bear tea party. It was all done perfectly.

Leah embodies the true qualities of a leader and creative in its finest integration. I've seen her construct creative briefs with little lead time, build brand evangelism through creating a live installation that invited a company's employees to participate and co-create a piece of art, and forge community through her inventive and warm personality. Particularly impressive is her ability to manage multiple projects and people with attention to nonverbal cues and norms, thoughtfulness and empathy. I'm proud to call Leah not only a colleague, but a close friend. I continue to be inspired by her generous spirit, creativity, and ambition.

I had the pleasure of working with Leah on two full scale murals for my tavern and coffee house here in Chicago. I say "working with", because she truly shares her art with a collaborative spirit. Leah really wanted to know my space intimately before working on designs and coming up with a game plan. We had lengthy discussions about my objectives, vision and budget. Leah took my needs and expectations into account with a sense of calm, sensitivity and professionalism that I will not soon forget. I commissioned Leah for both an exterior and interior mural. She was extremely thoughtful about making connections between both works, tying the inside and outside together with a sense of cohesion , while allowing both works to breath on their own. I have been in business for 17 years. Leah's murals have only been with us for the past two and I simply can't imagine this place without them. Jason Burrell

Leah was AMAZING. She spent time with our family to get the story from our daughter in order to create the perfect mural. Her communication around the project as it took shape was timely, professional and open to feedback. Highely recommend Leah for any artistic project.
