Jennifer Leach
Woodcut and lino prints

Jennifer Leach works primarily in woodcut and linoleum relief printmaking techniques. She also makes collages, altered books, and the occasional painting.

A career as a graphic designer and illustrator has influenced Jennifer’s current fine art printmaking. Each new work she creates is a series with themes and variations within the series. She relates new work to previous work to maintain an evolutionary flow of ideas. She is excited to see how next year’s work is connected to last year’s and how her impressions have changed along the way. She looks at perceptions of female identity in body, heart, mind and culture.

Jennifer has an MFA in graphic design and illustration, and studied printmaking at Kent State University. She has a post baccalaureate in art education from Cleveland State University. She has taken woodcut workshops with Karen Kunc at Constellation Studios, April Vollmer at the Morgan Conservatory, and Jimin Lee at Anderson Ranch, among many others.

Jennifer’s work has won awards in national juried competitions and invitationals and has shown her work widely including at The Providence Art Club, Worthington Yards Gallery in Cleveland, The Gallery at the Met Store in NYC, the Salmagundi Club in NYC, Boston University, The Fawick Gallery at Baldwin Wallace University, Manhattan Graphics Center, the Erie Art Museum, the Butler Institute of American Art, and the Artists Archives of the Western Reserve.

Jennifer’s work is held in private and public collections including the Summa Hospital Healing Arts Collection, Dalad Art Collection, Dealer Tire Art Collection, and Newark Public Library Special Collections.

Jennifer is a member of The Society of American Graphic Artists (SAGA), a NYC-based artist printmakers organization, and serves on its board. She is a past president and board member of The Print Club of Cleveland.
