Leslie Swartz was raised in Oakland, California, went to university in Arkansas, and lived most of her adult life in countries in southern Africa. She taught in elementary schools for15 years during her years in Zimbabwe and Botswana. Leslie experienced the most satisfaction by instilling in her students an appreciation of creative expression through art. Leslie returned to California in 2003 and enjoys experimenting with different media, using photographs and observations for inspiration. Not wanting to be limited to one particular medium, Leslie uses oils, pastels, acrylics, pen, and graphite. Her subjects range from trees and elephants to garlic and motorbikes. Leslie’s work is exhibited at the Moraga Art Gallery.
