As an Artist in Residency with Self-Help Graphics & Art, Leo helped found several important programs at the center, including the annual celebration of Dia de Los Muertos. He opened and ran the screen print shop which later evolved into the renowned Atelier Printmaking Program. His fine art silk-screen prints have been exhibited nationally and internationally
Through his work one can see the aesthetic transformation of Los Angeles’ public space, and not just in the aesthetics of his art. As the “L.A. River Catz” artist, he has been recognized for his efforts to revive the Los Angeles River as a historic region, cultural arts enclave and tourist destination. Integrating cultural aesthetics and ecology, his aim has been to restore the river as both a functional habitat for wildlife and a community recreational resource.
