"I am still far from being what I want to be, but with God's help I shall succeed."      Vincent Van Gogh


    Born and raised in Huntsville, Alabama, Leslee has been interested in art, and creating artistic things, since she was a young girl.  After receiving her college degree in Finance, she worked in the banking world until her true calling of motherhood.  She later developed LLB designs; a hand painted clothing business, in 1996, where she sold her original designs in both retail and wholesale markets.
    In 2001, she continued her artistic adventures by beginning the study of painting in oils.  Once she began that new expression of herself, she dissolved her clothing business to further pursue painting on canvas.  She has studied under many local and nationally recognized artists whose work she admires. With an interest in capturing many aspects of life, she paints landscape, still llife, and figures, in which she desires to convey a sense of peacefulness to all who view her work. 
     Leslee's work has been accepted, and may be seen,  in many local shows and exhibits throughout the year.  She is represented by Loblolly in Columbia, TN and York & Friends gallery locations in Nashville, TN.  She has completed numerous commission pieces for both corporate and individual clients in the United States and internationally.  Simply stated, she loves her work.

Leslee has lived in Nashville, Tennessee for the past 21 years.  Her greatest joy is sharing life with her two teenage children; Jeffrey and Alli, and her husband of 24 years, Jon. 


"The artist is nothing without the gift, but the gift is nothing without work."      Emile Zola
