Indiana Leather Artist Elizabeth O’Leary has spent the past several years transforming her skills from the digital world to physical craftsmanship. Originally a video producer and writer in Chicago, O’Leary blended her creative storytelling skills with her 10 years of upcycled mixed media collage experience, bringing about a perfect marriage of her two passions. O’Leary’s evolution into leatherworking introduced another element to further extend the range of her creative expression. Her use of collage challenges the boundaries of traditional leather making in new ways. By utilizing upcycled and found objects, punctuated with unique hardware, she tells stories through her creatively handmade leather fashion handbags, jewelry and accessories. Her work is inspired by funky geometric shapes, superior craftsmanship and graphic composition. Using old world techniques combined with an eye for today’s vibe, her work is focused on creating bold, beautiful and layered pieces that showcase her love of classic style with a touch of whimsy.
