"Weaving is but a thread in Leslie's life web. Like with the other threads, it weaves in and out at different levels of intensity. With it, she seeks the artist within herself.... Constantly intrigued by the interplay of colors, Leslie enjoys creating "one of a kind" designer fabrics. Most recently, she has gotten back into spinning and dyeing fibers to spin and then use for knitting and weaving." Museums and GalleriesAmerican
