ARTIST BIOGRAPHY:

Leia Guo (she/her) is a Calgary-based interdisciplinary artist who works at the intersection of analog photography and contemporary glassmaking. Her signature vitreoscape prints combine hand-blown optical plates with the silver gelatin printing process to create landscapes that exist in temporal flux. She holds a Bachelor of Fine Art in Glass (2022) and a Bachelor of Design in Photography (2023) from the Alberta University of the Arts in Calgary, Alberta. Leia currently works out of her home darkroom and at a local glass shop to create her unique silver gelatin prints. Leia has been featured at various national and international exhibitions, including Alberta Craft Council's Coming Up Next, Exposure Photography Festival's Emerging Photographer's Showcase, and the Glass Art Society's International Student Showcase in Tacoma, Washington.
