Leslie Tanner
My career as an artist began in college while I was studying scenic design at Davidson College. This craft allowed me to imagine and then create the visual elements of a story, while also learning techniques of building and painting. Currently, I teach middle school theatre and science as well as raising a family. Painting has become a passion of mine. I love to take pictures from my garden and then reproduce them on canvas or dabble with mixed media and create art for children. My paintings are colorful and vibrant, and bring out the beauty and humor that nature is asking us to see.
