Leah Cupino

About the artist

Before settling into the riotous adventures of the Rocky Mountain west Leah Cupino packed and unpacked into more than 20 different dwellings. This ritual became her constant, now a necessity in the studio to process the ongoings of her life. Each work is a peek into the generous, scintillating color of her inner landscapes. Her work is often compared to the abstractions of Joan Mitchell, and she follows along with the conceptions of space by Gaston Bachelard’s - ‘La Poétique de l’Espace' (‘The Poetry of Space, 1958).

Her strokes subdivide sky, ration rivers and inhabit new domains. Currently she paints many hours in her studio, leads multiple workshop and curation projects, and does all the outdoor activities with her three sons, husband, and mountain dog.

In the last year or so she has established representation and exhibited with Art Gallery Studios in Mexico City, Founded ‘Omertà Arts’ - a set of studios, classrooms, and gallery for artists. In the last five years she has led courses at Carroll College and Helena Colleges, built a family home, exhibited, curated, and sold her work across the country. Leah has completed residencies at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts and Virginia Commonwealth University, and obtained a BA of Fine and Commercial Arts from Walla Walla University in 2003. (born. 1981, Massachusetts, United States)
