Leon McCutcheon lives in Manhattan where he was born in 1959. His parents, a jazz musician and a milliner, exposed him to the arts from an early age. Fashion and music figure prominently in his work, which is also influenced by his memories of visits to relatives in South Carolina from the time he was a child.<\/p>\n

A political activist and advocate, McCutcheon has emerged as a spokesperson on disability issues and has made speaking appearances including WNYC\u2019s Leonard Lopate radio show. In 2007 he was awarded a Haym Soloman Fellowship in the Arts by FEGS Agency. McCutcheon\u2019s paintings are in many private collections and the folk-like quality of his work attracts the attention of curators and collectors interested in contemporary American folk art.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":2214,"template":"","class_list":["post-2212","artist","type-artist","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/fm-connect1.fortmindz.in\/wp-pva\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/artist\/2212","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/fm-connect1.fortmindz.in\/wp-pva\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/artist"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/fm-connect1.fortmindz.in\/wp-pva\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/artist"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fm-connect1.fortmindz.in\/wp-pva\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2214"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/fm-connect1.fortmindz.in\/wp-pva\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2212"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
