Leah Cupino, Geo-Erratic Behavior
Weaver Room Gallery
Leah Cupino once lived on top of a volcano and a score of other locations in her life, but now resides in Helena, Montana.
Her 20-year career’s worth of paintings include loose landscapes and topographical glacier abstractions and now includes a focus on the boulders within them.
Her subjects are united by her fascination with grand scales of time, as she colorfully weaves concepts of place, ownership and what it means to simply be a part of this earth.
Cupino is currently the co-founder of Omerta Arts, a studio-residency mentorship program and gallery where she also organizes her city’s Art Walk events when she is not outdoors with her family.
She has enjoyed residencies at Art Gallery Studios in Mexico City, CDMX, the Wolf Pack of New York City, the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Art and Virginia Commonwealth University, and her degree in Fine Arts and Commercial Design from Walla Walla University, and has enjoyed teaching at the Cittone Institute and CHI of Philadelphia, as well as Carroll College and Helena College, of the University of Montana’s Fine Arts Departments in past years.
