Leslie started sculpting while she was in high school, and received her first commission at age 16. She continued on to study at the Lyme Academy of Fine Art in Old Lyme Ct. After studying figure sculpture for a year, she decided she would rather concentrate on animals, particularly dogs. The next couple of years were spent outdoors with dogs, so they seemed the natural subject for her passion for clay. She later enrolled in SUNY Delhi’s pre-vet program where intense study animal anatomy was offered. Leslie takes her well rounded knowledge of sculpture and anatomy and marinates this into her own style of rhythm and flow, capturing the essence of the animal. Her sculptures are known for their intense energy and sense of life and the moment. Leslie’s pieces have been commissioned by churches, hospitals, dog clubs, and private collectors.
