“Leo knows and cares deeply about art and, being a writer, he articulates what he sees as much from a parallel practice as an observer. His encouraging analogies regarding my work have lingered as talismans against the usual doubt and unease of art life.”

— Karilee Fuglem

​

“From the moment he walked in Leo was intent, present, listening. He disparaged nothing. He respectfully challenged, provoked, and inspired, all towards an opening up of my work. When he left I realized he had skillfully pulled from me, and articulated, what had been lingering just below the surface. No imposition. A truly meaningful encounter. Definitely worth the beer!”

— Victoria LeBlanc

“I haven’t stopped working since you left my studio!!!!
Can’t believe that after the conversation with you about my work, I have such a clear mind and even clearer idea. Thank you !”
