Kristen E. Leonard is a multi-media artist who was born and raised in Buffalo, NY, and completed her BFA in Printmaking at Syracuse University in 2012.
Now residing in Brooklyn, she works in sculpture, painting, printmaking, and video to create immersive experiences that ruminate on the cultural spaces of the domestic, the feminine, and sentimental associations with enshrined objects such religious icons and taxidermied animals.
Her work explores themes of female power, mysticism, death, and the transformation of bodies into objects in a consumerist society. The work is influenced by the aesthetics of art nouveau, surrealist, classical, gothic, and religious art
