Leah Shirley is an interdisciplinary artist and astrologer based in Austin, TX, working across sculpture, mosaic, and time-based media. Her practice maps connections between material, light, and symbol, often in collaboration with the sun, planetary cycles, and everyday technologies.
Leah approaches astrology as both an art form and a living tool — at once ancient and alive, symbolic and practical. Her readings blend western Hellenistic astrology with modern techniques, treating the birth chart as a living text for meaning-making and self-discovery. Sessions are collaborative and conversational, designed to foster reflection, curiosity, and intuitive knowing.
She holds a BFA in Photography from Columbia College Chicago and an MFA in Sculpture & Extended Media from the University of Texas, Austin. Leah has maintained an active astrology consulting practice since 2019 and also creates custom mosaic talismans through her studio, Permanent Flower.
