Born in Brooklyn and raised in Buffalo, New York, Fleischhauer received her BA in Art from Bates College and BFA from San Francisco Art Institute. Based in Houston, she has completed multiple large-scale public art installations, both nationally and internationally, that interface art, science, architecture and history.

I am a maker.

I make large installations. Small objects. Works on paper. Works on a screen.

The language lies at the interface of art, science, architecture and history. I try to work within the accurate and precise parameters of a scientist, examine the similarities and contrasts that resonate in different times and places similar to a historian, but use a poetic platform to present layered questions.

Forming partnerships with professionals in other fields, I immerse myself in unfamiliar ideas, research, materials, and processes. I have served as Artist-in-Residence in Neuroaesthetics at University of Houston’s Cullen College of Engineering, Artist-in-Residence at the Department of Nanomedicine and Biomedical Engineering, University of Texas Health Science Center Houston, and Nanogagliato, a Nanoscience conference in Gagliato, Italy, to construct permanent and temporary installations.

My projects respond to the architecture, infrastructure and intended purpose of untraditional art spaces: an abandoned Victorian house, a highway overpass, a research facility, a 19th Century Italian oil mill, a clock tower, a concrete grain silo, a decommissioned air traffic control tower without power or light, and sometimes… the “white cube.”
