Leepa was an art professor at Michigan State University in East Lansing from 1945 until 1983. He earned a Master of Fine Arts and Doctor of Education degrees from Columbia University. The author of an art textbook, The Challenge of Modern Art, Leepa described art as an expression of humanity. Modern art helps to "reflect and find the form for a new kind of humanism in the world today by showing that creative expression and self-discovery can offer a basis for moral values."[4]
