Stacy Leeman's paintings and drawings have been widely exhibited across the US. Her work is in public and private collections, including Princeton University. She has received numerous awards, including grants from the Greater Columbus Arts Council and Vermont Studio Center. Leeman is represented by Art Access Gallery (Columbus, OH), Rutledge Street Gallery (Camden, SC), Wheelhouse Art (Louisville, KY), and Burns Gallery (Sarasota, FL). She holds a BA from Oberlin College and an MFA from Rutgers University.

"Darrow's Words P11" was inspired by the history book, "Arc of Justice," that describes the legal battle led by Clarence Darrow to free a black man who defended his home against a white mob in 1925. Darrow believed in the power of words to create righteousness. This work begins with the word "word" to create an underlying structure in a process akin to yoga or meditation. The ambition of these works is an attempt to prove that the language of paint can be just as potent as the language of words.
