Leaf Walker Painting

I am an intermedia artist based in Seattle since 1992. My work is invites exploration of different perceptions, memories of place, and spaces of imagination. These explorations have included the use of sound as a material in artwork, and the distribution of sound as a medium for listening. Since 2005 my work has been inspired by experiences during multiple travels throughout Asia. During these journeys, I have gathered numerous audio recordings of location, daily life, and ceremony. I also have made drawings, collage, books, paintings, photographs, and films during these times. These have manifested in many ways, from audio releases, to performance, radio broadcasts, visual exhibits, installations, painting & mixed media, print editions, and various combinations thereof. My visual and audio works have been exhibited and performed in museums, festivals and venues across Southeast Asia, Europe, the US, including: AUDIOSPHERE: Social Experimental Audio, Pre- and Post-Internet - Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofia - Madrid Spain 2020, 15 Ans De Sublime Frequencies Festival - Paris 2018, ArtJog8 - Yogyakarta Indonesia 2015. I have attended residencies in USA (Florida, Washington) and Indonesia (Java). Awards include Artist Trust/Washington State Arts Commission Fellowship (2006). My work is in the collections of the Seattle and Tacoma Art Museums, and others.
