A R T I S T
Leslie works as an illustrator and fine
artist, using different mediums in a variety of styles. A native
St. Louisan, she grew up in a very artistic family. Many of Leslie's
family members make their livings in creative professions.
Starting
in the early 80's, she started her art career doing home portraits,
then learned to make 2D architectural blueprints into 3D renderings.
While working freelance as an illustrator for architects and
builders, she also published a line of drawings of St Louis
landmarks that continues to this day.
After
drawing and painting straight lines for years, it was time
for something different.
Calling on her interest in horses, nature and the environment,
she dove into painting acrylics and oils. That will
explain the seemingly different type of art seen here. If you
ask what she likes best, her answer "depends
on what day it is."
She
is also proud to be the cover artist for The
Healthy Planet.com,
a monthly publication of health,
wellness, natural living and the environment.
