Her prior projects include a series of alternative family portraits in oils called Perfect Families. Her construction site paintings have been showcased at Sciame headquarters in New York City (2016), in the Kaufman Arcade Space for Public Art in New York City (2018), at the Clinton/HellвЂ™s Kitchen Studio Gallery in New York City (2019), and in gallery group shows in New Jersey and Massachusetts (2018). LeechвЂ™s construction series is the subject of an award-winning short documentary by film-maker Angelo Guglielmo, The Monolith.

Since then, Leech has been documenting skyscraping building projects including Hudson Yards, BillionaireвЂ™s Row on West 57th Street, the new Museum of Modern Art tower on 53rd Street, and One Vanderbilt next to Grand Central Station. Of the process as the new building was constructed.

Instead of moving, she decided to create paintings In 2015, the construction of a 42-floor building began outside LeechвЂ™s studio window on West 39th Street in New York City. In 2010, using the theme of family, she explored getting the public to draw in projects for the Pool Art Fair and for Figment's summer festival on Governor's Island in NYC. She first drew in the public eye as part of Shiku Haku, a theater piece with Indalo Arts at La MaMa Theatre Club in 2000. Leech has explored different ideas about public drawing including drawing in public view, drawing with the public, and getting the public to draw, often in venues outside the traditional gallery and museum environment.

Her largest cup installation so far has been '1001 Cup Stories', which was shown at the Harris Building in Grand Rapids, Michigan, for ArtPrize 2014 and was voted in the top 10 art installations. Leech has since created site-specific installations for City Without Walls Gallery in Newark, New Jersey, and in NYC for No Longer Empty, Westbeth Gallery, Hewitt Gallery at Marymount Manhattan College and for the Susan Teller Gallery. In September 2013, '365: A Year in Cups', a window installation for Anthropologie Regent Street, was featured in the London Design Festival.

In 2012, 'Drawings 1вЂ“655' were included in the 'Luxuriant Refuse' exhibit at the Pearl Fincher Museum of Fine Art located in Spring, Texas. Leech was in residence working in public five days a week from September 2011 to February 2012, resulting in a final collection of 850 drawings and paintings on her used coffee cups. In the fall of 2011, the cup project transferred to the Flatiron Prow Artspace, 23rd and Broadway in New York City. Her physical presence while working in the window was a significant part of the project. She first exhibited cups in 2011 as an installation in the NYC Fashion Center's Window Space for Public Art in the Garment District. Leech began drawing on empty paper coffee cups during meetings in 2007 and became interested in creating on the curved cup surface and the endless supply of such a canvas.
