Leah Romano McMeen is an artist based in Northwest Indiana, working in oil, pastel, watercolor, acrylic and printmaking. She blends realism and impressionism to capture the spirit of place and the quiet narratives woven through landscape, wildlife and community.
She earned a BFA in Painting, with a minor in Printmaking, from the University of Toledo, then spent more than twenty years building a design career. She returned to painting in 2024, and her work has since been selected for juried exhibitions across the United States.
