Nature is one of her biggest passions in life and one of the biggest inspirations in her work. It’s not uncommon to find that she has incorporated natural materials into her clay like, rocks, dirt, feathers, or the lavender she grows.

Leslie is known for her ability to express raw emotion in her work. What she feels flies out of her fingertips and becomes Leslie Art. This process is as natural to her as breathing. Polymer clay is the media that she expresses herself with.

She is a self taught artist who teaches nationally and internationally. Leslie resides in Kentucky with her husband of 21 years, Chris and is the mother of 2 sons, Logan and Luke.
