Leah’s current focus as an artist is Octopus and Squid related fantastical creatures (OctoSkull, Octopusses -- Catopuses? -- and Squiddy). She looks forward to creating more art at College of the Desert, personal commissions, photography, linocut works, and continuing her exploration of her funky fantastical creatures.
