Studio Leshay Rafael is a collaboration between married artists Linda Leshay and Rafael Guadalupe who met at Pratt Institute, Brooklyn, NY, as young art students.  Their work encompasses the fields of painting, photography, sculpture, design, and installations.  Leshay's work explores the human experience through portraits isolated and shaped by their internal and external lives.  Rafael's work is inspired by the evolving nature of belief systems that explore our origins, presence, and future.  They are compelled to create emotional, psychological, and social stories.
