Leah Norem works in Human Resources at an industrial painting and coating company. She loves what she does and the people she works with. She also has two kids. The oldest graduated from UW-Madison with a BFA and the youngest is non-verbal and deep within the autism spectrum. Raising him is stressful and difficult, and it takes everything she has to make it through the day. Emotionally, physically, and mentally caring for him is the hardest thing she has ever had to do.
In her free time, you will find her creating art, primarily working in her ceramics studio. While she enjoys many different mediums such as watercolor, collage, mixed media, painting, and drawing, she finds throwing pottery to be meditative and relaxing. Her journey with pottery began in 2017 and consists of sculptural and functional pieces. The process of making pottery has taught her to be more patient and to live in the moment. Creating art is her way of finding peace.
Leah is active with her art on social media as well as within the Green Bay arts community. She is on the Board of the non-profit groups S.A.G.E. and the Green Bay Art Colony, and enjoys participating in events and a variety of exhibitions. She enjoys sharing her experiences as an artist with others and takes pleasure in demonstrating her process.

I think of my pottery as art with which you will employ. They are functional pieces which are placed in the home to add beauty and create pause. My pieces are unassuming, inviting the viewer to move into a space of emotion. I rely on our desires for beauty, grace, and seduction of the simple and reserved.
The work thus far has used the frame of simplicity to propose a sense of modernity, and in the process, point to obvious callings for daily use. I have found the existence of routine and effortlessness to be useful in the rearranging of perceived ideals. The objects I make are placed in the home creating visible beauty in everyday objects. My projects are grounded in patience while living in the moment.
