Discarded Ancestors - At the Intersection of Art and Ancestry

Treasure lives amidst the rubble of lost neighborhoods. Mixed-media artist Elizabeth Leader found a discarded family album and transformed it into collages that capture the rise and fall of the Rust Belt, honoring the immigrants and refugees who built America.

About the author

Mixed-media artist Elizabeth Leader is drawn to places and objects that most of us pass by on the street without even a glance. A discarded toy or the blank windows of an abandoned house are clues to a story that has been lost in time. She creates art out of artifacts, bringing these stories to life. Leader has a BFA from the Massachusetts College of Art and an MFA from the Rochester Institute of Technology. Her mixed-media art has been exhibited across the nation. She lives and works in Buffalo, New York.
