Sue Huggins Leopard is a book artist and printmaker from Rochester, NY.
A sense of memory and a connection to history and myth through images
and words is evident in her work and she employs her own wood engravings,
relief prints, etchings, collages, letterpress, and handwriting in her
books. A particular interest in 19th-century American poets has led to
two books based on the works of Emily Dickenson, completed in 2006. Her
prints and books are exhibited widely and are held in the collections
of the University of Washington, the Athenaeum of Philadelphia, Rochester
Institute of Technology, University of Rochester, and the Philadelphia
Free Library, among others as well as in private collections.
