Hugh Leeman is a multi-disciplinary artist and educator, teaching art history and technique in English and Spanish. Leeman's artwork and projects focus on community collaboration and social interaction. 
 
While living in the Caribbean at a young age, Leeman imagined himself remaining there for the rest of his life. Yet, as a teenager, he began to meet visiting cruise ship passengers from the Americas and Europe. Their stories would change the course of his life, inspiring a multi-year journey. He traded his paintings for rent while working his way around the world. He learned to draw from books he couldn't read while teaching English in China. Leeman moved to the United States from the Middle East, where he had picked up trash in the desert. He has developed his social practice for more than a decade, living on San Francisco's "skid row."
