In Women As/In Art, artist Leah Schrager interviews creators, critics, and curators about the role of women as and/or in art in history, the contemporary gallery scene, and online. Be she model, muse, co-creator, artist, painter, performer or X, where and how do women find agency and empowerment in art? Has the place of women as and/or in art changed over time and across different media? Can a woman just be art? Drawing from her own experience as an artist whose “deceptively complex brand of feminism, expressed through the unashamed sexuality of her beautifully abstracted self portraits, makes her voice unique among new media artists" (ArtSlant, 2017), Schrager explores commercialism, sexuality, appropriation, celebrity culture, digital identity, and more through her conversations with some of the art world’s most compelling and controversial figures.

Melissa Coote is an artist based in Sydney, Australia.
Melissa studied photography in the early stages of her practice and this still underpins the majority of her art making. Melissa works with sculpture, varying types of photography and painting techniques ranging from the earliest form of Daguerrotypes to modern day photography. Melissa is a highly skilled drawer, painter, and photographer and the sculpting of light with feeling is the essence of her work.
Coote hopes those living with her pieces have the opportunity to enjoy them in a variety of light conditions as details recede or are revealed. The alchemy of light is at the core of Coote's practice.
Melissa’s exhibition opened at my gallery in March 2024 in Los Angeles and we are very excited about bringing these unique works to the United States.
