Artist Statement

In moving picture, silk, fibers, and paint, she calls us to commemorate loss, embrace greater timelines of transformation, and encourages us to celebrate the immortality of our shared spirit. 

Erratic /Ə’radik/

1. noun: a rock that travels great distances over time, by glacier or other natural forces
2. adj; unpredictable
3. root Latin: errāre: to wander

In paintings and film, I join themes of displacement with transformation and remain curious about what it means to simply be a part of this earth. The materials and color I use in my work ask us to evaluate the worn-down trails of accepted facts to a deeper evaluation of purpose. I embrace with giddiness the idea that defied expectations can be a gift to all. 

Artist Bio

Leah Cupino might be something of an erratic herself. 

She’s lived on volcanoes, farmland, cement jungles, forests, beaches, and now the rocky mountainsides of the US and abroad. She is fixated on the transformational forces and concepts that shape place, movement and mindset. 



Exhibiting on both North American coastlines and in Mexico City, her creative mind has expanded into roles in professorships, residencies, curation and the founding of a non-profits art center. Now focused on her own creative work, she’ll be found in her studio in Southwest Montana.
