Leah Tacha (4th born, 1984, Lawrence, KS) lives and works in Brooklyn, NY. She received her BFA in Painting from The Cleveland Institute of Art in 2007 and her MFA from SUNY Purchase College in 2009.

Her first solo exhibition in NY was curated by Jon Lutz at Sardine in Brooklyn, NY in 2014 followed by a second solo show curated by Lutz at 106 Green Gallery in 2016. She has shown with Morgan Lehman Gallery, SSD (Shrine & Sargent’s Daughters), Deanna Evans Projects, Daily Operation, Underdonk, RARE Gallery, New Baroque, and the Torrance Art Museum, among many others.

In 2015 she was awarded the Robert Blackburn Printmaking Workshop SIP Fellowship. In 2017 she was awarded a Windgate Fellowship from the Archie Bray Foundation. She is currently represented by Gold/Scopophilia* gallery.

“Trained as a visual artist my background is rooted in a deep love for historical techniques in printmaking and ceramics. The works included in the 4th Born collection are a response to the desire to find more comfort and visual interest in my every day surroundings of the home. I wanted to create objects that were not only works of art, but functional wares meant to be loved for many years to come.”
