Welcome
An artist tends to wear his or her heart on their
sleeve, and Lesley Anne is no exception. Her
paintings—which have been described as
“transformational”—are introspective, vibrant and highly
evocative of the events of her life. While mostly
abstract, they convey complex layers of emotion and
depths of meaning that unfold with repeated viewings.
Lesley Anne is a native of Cape Cod, Massachusetts, and
has lived in California since the late 1970s. Relocating
to Monterey County with her husband and three children
in 1989, she immersed herself in the local art scene,
studying with some of the area’s most prominent artists.
These days, she paints mainly in oils, but has been
known to employ bees-wax, tar, and photographic
Xerography in her work.
The walls of her home in the hills near Laguna Seca are
filled with her paintings and those of others she
admires. Curiously, some of these pieces are unsigned.
“I hang my paintings in the house for a while to see if
they’re finished,” she confides. She likes to live with
each piece for a while, to see if it tells her it needs
more attention or is complete. Only then does she affix
her flowing signature to the work and release it to an
appreciative world.
