Visual Artist and former dancer Leona Strassberg Steiner has lived on both the East and West coast of the USA, Palestine, and in 2014 relocated to New Orleans. Steiner's  work centers on issues related to our planet’s future, the new political dilemma, natural landscapes, and transitions in time. “Art is about revisiting our perspectives about racism, the class/religious divide, and environmentalism. The end game is seeing how we are all connected on this planet, how we are all one".
