Artist Statement
I have always been drawn to the passage of time and how artwork can simultaneously be of the present and the past. Moreover, my paintings depict quiet, mundane moments that seem insignificant, but make up the groundwork for our everyday lives. I am interested in the fervency to capture time, often painting quickly to emphasize how moments change. I am inspired by the impressionist painters and how each brushstroke articulates movement and light. I strive to bring this energy into each painting to reflect on fleeting memories and our presence in them.

About the Artist
Leah Scheib (formerly Leah Slemmer) grew up in Millersburg, PA where she admired her grandfather’s love for painting and often spent time in his studio creating small drawings beside him. Deciding to further her education, she concentrated in painting and received her BFA at Kutztown University of Pennsylvania in 2020. In 2022, she moved to Lancaster county where she currently resides and continues to practice painting in her daily life. Her work currently evokes a sense of longing through the depiction of quiet moments in time.
Leah’s work has been included in various exhibitions in Lancaster, PA. She has also exhibited in juried exhibitions at Goggleworks Center for the Arts in Reading, PA, as well as Abington Art Center in Jenkintown, PA.
