My name is Leah Gauthier. I'm an artist living and working in Bloomington, Indiana. I'm also an Assistant Professor of Art at Butler University in Indianapolis. I received an MFA from the School of the Museum of Fine Arts Boston and Tufts University and a BFA from the School of the Art Institite of Chicago.
My art practice straddles sculpture, relational art and performance art. I'm inspired by handmade, home grown, chords of colors, random conversations, cooking and eating beautiful food, simplicity, friendship and a job well done together.
My work has been exhibited nationally and internationally in museums, galleries and alternative spaces. I've been an Artist-in-Residence at the MacDowell Colony, Burren College of Art (Ireland) and Eyebeam (New York City), and the recipient of grants and awards from the National Endowment for the Arts, Efroymson Contemporary Arts Fellowship, Berkshire Taconic Community Foundation and The Puffin Foundation.
