MORE ABOUT YOUR HOST
As a mixed media artist, proprietor Leah Jachimowicz is inspired by the interplay of different media and techniques. Her love of all things creative began at an early age (with her collection of rubber stamps, glitter vials, and fine pencils), and she found her calling in college when she discovered printmaking.
The art of printmaking in this digital age is challenging: from the maintenance of the equipment, to the mechanics, to finding ways to make unique prints with new media. In her printmaking, Leah incorporates elements of drawing, painting, photography, and collage to create a format for every one of her projects.
