Originally from the southwest of France, Leslie is a passionate and committed contemporary artist. Shortly after the birth of her daughter, she felt the need to explore her creativity and discovered her vocation for painting. Self-taught, she sharpens her artistic sensibility through dance, photography and travel. With her works in various styles, she evokes with accuracy and subtlety the natural and strong femininity through time and cultures. Leslie participated in her first exhibition in New York in 2020 and has since multiplied awards and shows.
