Leslie was born in Mississauga, Ontario and has travelled extensively, living in Africa as a child and in Albany, New York in early adulthood. She received a Ph.D. in Biopsychology in 1998 and worked for many years as a data analyst. Leslie discovered the joy of painting after the birth of her first child. She now lives in Port Credit and draws inspiration for florals and landscapes from this beautiful area on Lake Ontario. She has received training in several studios including the Spillane Studio of Fine Art. Her work has found homes in both Canada and the United States.
Her paintings invite you to reflect on the natural world around you and appreciate the underappreciated.
