Baker Artist Portfolios

Leo Louise is a queer and trans wood artist, maker, and educator. They transform found wood into sculptural objects that honor queerness, abundance, and cooperation in nature. As a self-taught artist, Leo came into woodworking through community networks and mutual learning—not formal training. That DIY lineage informs their commitment as an educator to demystify craft and challenge who gets to belong in spaces of making. They teach woodworking classes at Baltimore's Station North Tool Library and travel often to teach and assist at craft schools across the country.
