Mark your calendar right now so you don't miss my next exciting event.

“Show up every moment like you’re fully meant to be there.”
—Marie Forleo

If you came to the Warren Court Art Walk, I hope you saw my set with guest drummer extraordinaire, Brandon Loikits. Lods of gratitude for Phil Cohen on bass and Stuart Klinger on lead guitar who made me sound good!

The Warren Court Art Walk was freaking awesome; if you missed it, you might want to kick yourself and remember to look for it Spring 2025! If you can't stop thinking about a piece you saw, or want another opportunity to talk to me or see more work, schedule a studio visit with me here

Now, put my next opening on your calendar and show up. It's at a gorgeous Library, and I have several pieces that will stand with work by eight other exceptional Studio Tour SOMA artists.

Want to conjure a world of possibilities and pearls of wisdom?

The oyster has taken what was at first an irritation and intrusion and uses it to enrich its value.”
― Susan C. Young

First stop in New Orleans was the Carousel Bar at the Hotel Monteleone in the French Quarter. Andrew and I met up with my friend, Devra Dedeaux for cocktails and oysters.

This year is shaping up to be off-the-chart stupendous! My trip to New Orleans was sensational. I introduced NOLA to my boyfriend, Andrew, and we did everything and more. One of my favorite things about NOLA are the oysters. For over 30 years, I’ve been collecting oyster photos with a plan to create a series of Oyster paintings, and after this latest trip, I’m finally ready to start! I’m excited to focus on a subject I have loved and enjoyed for so long, which conjures a world of possibilities and magical transformation. After all, the world is your oyster, filled with pearls of wisdom. I will present the first oyster paintings at the Warren Court Art Walk on Mother’s Day weekend.

Click the button below and head to my events page to see all the fun things I’ve got coming up. Meet me at the opening of the Pierro Gallery show in April and the Chatham Library show in June. If you’re planning that trip to Europe, make sure you plan your visit to Paris around my two-woman show at the beautiful Gallery Roshana, mere steps off the Champs Elysees opening September 19th! Check out Andi Ipacktchi's work. She’s my cohort in Paris.

I’ll be attending the NG Artist Residency in Provence for two weeks before my Paris show. I’m thrilled to be going with my art buddy, Sandra Charlap. When I return from Paris I’ll be prepping for my Wild Cherry Art Halloween pARTy, and I’ll wrap up the year with our beloved Studio Tour SOMA. Go to my website now and get on my A-list to learn about all my events, times, and locations. Don’t miss any of the fun!

See you soon!
Love,
Leslie

I hope your Thanksgiving was wonderful. Now it's time to gear up for the season of giving. Because you're on my list, you're invited to a unique, private Holiday Open House. Everything is even more sparkling for the holidays. Join me for a nosh, a chat, and some holiday cheer. Pick up a print or a painting for a gift or yourself. I have new Cherry and Northern Lights paintings and a few new Quarantinis and Landscapes, plus Cherry and Nutcracker totes. I also offer gift certificates. A beautiful piece of ART serves as a positive catalyst for enhancing our well-being. Art has the power to heal, inspire, provoke, challenge and offer hope. Now that’s a meaningful gift for the person who has everything!

The delightful Sandra Charlap will be joining me on Sunday. Come and have fun with us!

Sandra Charlap will join me again and sell her beautiful paintings, mosaics, and greeting cards. We had such a great time together during the studio tour we thought we'd buddy up again. Stop by and enjoy the fun. If you're nice, I'll play you my original holiday song! And if you're naughty, I've got something for you too!

With love and gratitude,
Leslie
