Leah Gauthier (Born Chicago, Illinois) is an intermedia artist living and working in Maine. She makes wild-inspired embroidered paintings, living sculpture, and often edible community works exploring resilience in the wake of climate change, food migration, and her dreams of an interspecies centered future.

Her work has been exhibited in museums, galleries and alternative spaces in the U.S. and abroad. She has been an artist-in-residence at the MacDowell Colony, Eyebeam and The Burren College of Art and has received awards and grants from the Pollock-Krasner Foundation, National Endowment for the Arts, Efroymson Contemporary Arts Fellowship, Puffin Foundation, the Kindling Fund (for Life Forms) and the Berkshire Taconic Community Foundation.

Leah earned an M.F.A from the School of the Museum of Fine Arts Boston and Tufts University and her B.F.A. from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.

She is a co-founder and member of Life Forms, a sculpture collective of twelve artists, and an experiment in artistic community building. Through a series of exhibitions over four years (2023-2027), each in a different location and featuring a different grouping of artists, the collective aims to deepen relationships with each other, discover new connections through their creative work, and share in conversation with the public.
