Flat photo colleges are translated into low-relief fabric sculptures and the metamorphosis invites glitches and mistranslations that allow the work to feel alive. At the core of her work is a desire to break down images and objects into parts that can be stitched and merged back together into new forms that carry an essence but become stronger and often stranger.

Leslie’s work has been shown extensively in the New York and Boston areas and they have been awarded fellowships to attended residencies at The Studios at MASS MoCA and the Chautauqua School of Art. She teaches Visual + Critical Studies I in the Low Residency Graduate program at Massachusetts College of Art and Design, and Visual Arts Portfolio, 2D Design and Digital Photography in the Visual Arts Department at Dutchess Community College.

Leslie grew up in Alberta, Canada and currently lives in New York’s Hudson Valley with her family.
