Sculpting is my life and my passion.
I grew up in a wonderful mix of city & country life and style (New York City and New England’s Berkshires).
I am one of five daughters of Fred Leuchs, a noted stained glass artist, and have always loved working and creating with my hands.
I spent hundreds of hours climbing scaffolding, leading glass, developing a love and feel for art.
Our Berkshire studio was also filled with countless plaster maquettes created more than a hundred years ago by my great uncle Augustus Lukeman, himself an historically important sculptor.
I have grown up loving color and form with lines that flow. I studied mechanical engineering & art at Stanford University. After the birth of my first child, I channeled my artistic energies into carving stone. I began casting my work into bronze sculpture and am now using 3-D scanning and computer technology to facilitate the laborious centuries-old process of enlarging sculpture from small maquettes to monumental sizes.
I love size. I love how a sculpture, no matter how small, can have presence in a space and artistically grow as it is enlarged; filing the space, casting more shadows, letting more light pass through it’s negative spaces. Maturing.
