About Leann Leiter

Born in 1986 and raised in rural Pennsylvania, I´m connected to and constantly inspired by my area´s backwoods culture, my
family´s Pennsylvania Dutch heritage, and the hereditary tendency toward hoarding. Much of my time is spent traipsing through the woods finding abandonded houses to make my own and objects to collect.
