Leah Mata Fragua is a California Indian artist whose work has been exhibited at the UCLA Fowler and the Autry museums and is held in major museum collections. She delves in her art into environmental degradation, coastal stewardship and cultural continuity, predominantly using handmade paper and sculptural installation. Grounded in her coastal homelands, her practice centers “kin-centric” relationships between land, water, and community. Leah also serves as a Traditional Ecological Knowledge representative on the Chumash Marine Sanctuary Advisory Council, contributing to marine conservation efforts rooted in Indigenous science.
