Haven’t posted in a while. Been busy with my installation over at NoMaA for the show Women in the Heights:Perspectives. The show opens March 3rd from 6-8. Come check it out!

The folks over at ArtHash posted an interview with me today. For more info on my work, check it out.

Gnomey Gnome Gnome!

Gnome day! Why, you ask??? Yesterday I told my roomie Marissa that I was going to post everyday, and today I almost forgot, until she reminded me. What does this have to do with gnomes???? Wellllll….Marissa has a traveling gnome companion, and this little gnome roadtripped across the entire country with her (all 48 continental states!). So here is a little tribute, in honor of Marissa’s gnomey friend.

Muffin Tops Hit The Big Apple

I thought moving to NYC would change my work completely. I figured that because of space issues I would give up on the cupcake entirely. Boy was I wrong! My first New York show was my most ambitious ever. 10,000 cupcakes strung and hung from the ceiling to create an entire cupcake room at ConArtist. You could smell the cupcakes from the street! The second show was a much small installation at Webster Hall (only a few strands of cupcakes). Now that I got this out of my system…let’s see what’s next!!

Hello 2011. New NYC inspiration

Leah Foster — Mon, 17 Jan 2011 21:32:48 +0000

I know I’ve been gone a while. Update: I am now living and working in NYC. I’m working with teenagers at an after school nonprofit tutoring program. Tough..yet amazing job! NYC is inspiring me in a bazillion different ways. I’m falling in love with this city.

Walking home from work, found this. Unmonumental?

Found this walking to work one day. Pop-up art installation?

Delicious Cupcakes…to put on your head!

Where is the best place for a cupcake? Not in your belly. Not in your friend’s belly. Nooo silly! Cupcakes belong on your head.

Hello World..Again

Leah Foster — Thu, 22 Apr 2010 01:37:50 +0000

Hello again! I know it’s been ages since my last post, so I’m going to start this new blogging adventure with a bang. Instead of telling you about my art, I’ll let my favorite blog in the entire world tell you. I’m so happy I could burst!! :]

Thank you Cupcakes Take The Cake for posting my work.

My Letters

Leah Foster — Fri, 07 Dec 2007 02:48:19 +0000

I decided to make some of my Christmas presents…and this is what I came up with. Personalized initials for my loved ones. My aunt said I could make some to go in her store…so I’m thinking about making words, as well as initials..and maybe adding ribbon to hang them on the wall. :]

It’s raining bunnies..oh no!
