Leah Horowitz is a visual artist based in Queens, New York. Her art practice explores processes of re-worlding and queering through painting, printmaking, installation, and video. By dismantling e-waste and examining synthetic materials that were eroded by nature, Horowitz invites us to wander through abstract spaces of emerging ecologies. As a queer artist with ADD and dyslexia, she attempts to make an alternative translation of reality that exists outside of accepted linguistic, social, and cultural norms.
Horowitz holds an MFA from Brooklyn College (CUNY) and BFA from Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA). Her work has been featured at Picture Room, Powerhouse Arts, Book Fairs, (NYABF, Yale University, Printed Matter, MoMA PS1), among others. Most recently she was an artist in residence at Mass MoCA. Horowitz currently works as an adjunct professor of graphic design at Adelphi University. She was a visiting artist lecturer at MICA, Rutgers University, and at CUNY-Borough of Manhattan City College.
