Leslie began creating photographic images in the early 1970's with her 35 mm Miranda camera.  Leslie loved capturing images of people and objects and definitely loved playing with light to create dramatic affects. 

In 1993, after many years of creating images for friends and family, she joined numerous Professional Photographer organizations and became a Professional Photographer.  It was only a matter of time until she made the move to medium-format and digital cameras.  Leslie now creates images using a combination of film and digital means. 

Leslie began creating quilts, jewelry, and watercolor paintings in the early 2000's as a stress relieving technique.  This aided her while the stresses of caregiving (for her mother) began to take their toll.  While her mother passed away in 2004, Leslie has continued her creations as a way of dealing with everyday stress. 

Leslie's ability for selecting color and pattern combination stemmed from her photographic creations.  Naturally, as in her photography business, Leslie has progressed into creating art quilts, spectacular jewelry, and mesmerizing watercolor creations.
