Tirzah Legg is a sculptor and arts professional based in Oberlin, Ohio, with expertise in gallery management, ceramics instruction, and community arts programming. She holds an MFA from Kent State University and a BFA from the University of Southern Mississippi. As the Gallery Director at Firelands Association for the Visual Arts (FAVA), she oversees coordination, curation, and installation of national and regional solo and group art exhibitions. At FAVA she plays a key role in public events like Art Fair in the Square, while supporting mural projects and artist residencies in the Oberlin community.

Tirzah’s installations and sculptures combine found and slip-cast objects with hand-sculpted pieces that explore themes of identity, anxiety, trauma, and the internal pressures of both societal and self-imposed expectations. These works have been exhibited nationally, including at the National Council on Education for the Ceramic Arts (NCECA) conference, SPACES Cleveland, Kent State University Downtown Gallery, and the Mary C. O'Keefe Cultural Arts Center.
