Bio:
Creating fiber art provides a means for gaining perspective of the world around me. Because I am a high school librarian, I naturally seek order and discipline. I create small art quilts which focus on close up views and abstract impressions. I incorporate layers of texture and color using fabric, unusual fibers and quilting techniques. I enjoy creating without feeling constrained by rules or quilting norms and traditions. When I start a piece, I rarely have a complete plan in mind. I let nature, colors, shapes, and textures guide me, and let the art evolve. Friends and family members enrich my life and help me to expand my views. I am stimulated and encouraged by what they create and how they develop their ideas. Occasionally, we collaborate and experiment with new techniques, which constantly inspires my imagination. This is reflected in my artwork. modernartquilts@gmail.com https://www.modernartquiltsbyleslie.com Instagram: leslie_art_quilts
