Leigh Brooklyn is a Cleveland-based sculptor specializing in figurative work rooted in a deep understanding of human anatomy and form. She studied Biomedical Illustration at the Cleveland Institute of Art, developing the precision and structural knowledge that underpin her practice. Her early career included work with institutions such as the Cleveland Clinic, University Hospitals, and Case Western Reserve University, refining her ability to translate complex human subjects into dimensional form. Brooklyn works across an array of materials including stone, clay, bronze, welding, and auto body painting. Since 2019, she has expanded into large-scale sculpture and fabrication. In 2023, she further developed her skills in monument and architectural carving through an apprenticeship with a European master stone carver. Her work explores resilience, leadership, and women’s empowerment, bridging fine art and public installation with technical rigor and expressive depth.
