Leslie began painting out of sheer desire when she was a college student. She unleashed her imagination painting with random house paints and everything else she could get her hands on. An obsession was born. She spent much of the next 18 years experimenting madly. The obsession lives on. What has developed is an incredible and distinctive style. Her abstract paintings boast mediums never seen before. And her furniture has evolved over the years, into something extravagant, furniture as fine art.
What has impacted Leslie’s painting the most, are the years she spent traveling in the third world. She was deeply moved by the shrines and temples of India and Thailand. She traveled extensively in Nepal, where the textures, hues, and powerful symbolism she saw in the Buddhist monasteries of the Himalayas made a monumental impact on her style. She also spent a great deal of time in South and Central America where again she was intensely inspired by the textures, symbolism, and vivid colors of the endemic cultures.
Leslie spends a great deal of time in the wilderness and has an immense love for the natural world. This too is reflected in her work. Having lived in Florida, Washington, Hawaii, California, and now 11 years in Nevada, she has derived inspiration from a great variety of environments. This connection with nature is made evident in her organic style and intense textures.
This artist’s depth of passion for her work and the world around her is what gives her pieces their strength. Each piece is a one of a kind.
