Lesley is a painter living and working in Portland, Oregon.
I’ve finished up my painting for the 2010 Portland Love Show. The opening is Friday, February 12th, from 7pm to midnight at the Olympic Mills Commerce Center. Should be fun!

I had my Art in Hand piece photographed by the lovely and talented Grace Weston, and managed to get the final image uploaded to the Art in Hand site with one day to spare. I’ve seen the rest of the deck and Wow! This thing is going to be amazing. I’ll keep you posted on when the decks will be available (I hear New Seasons will possibly be selling them) and when and where the upcoming art viewings and auction will be held.
I’ve had more responses to my query on wetcanvas, and I love what one poster called my work: Dreamscapes. A lot of the basic ideas in my work come from things I’ve seen in my dreams, so I find the notion rather fitting. I just finished Jackie Battenfield’s The Artist’s Guide: How to Make a Living Doing What You Love, and she has some great exercises for writing a kick-ass artist statement. I think now that I’ve got a handle on what it is I’m painting, I can spend some time re-working my statement. Good times!
I love this piece…it’s like an octopus, a leaf, a spirit free of the body floating through infinite space.
