Using the medium of macro digital photography, Leslie explores the vibrational nature of our world and the idea of resonance as a universal creative force.  She has been exploring light as subject for ten years and has watched as the images have become ever more complex.  Interested in the physical nature of Light and its philosophical implications, she set off with camera in hand to explore what causes the diversity of shapes and marks emanating within the light around us.

When she first started putting her art out into the public arena in 1992,  she was etching metal plates for printmaking with abstracted botanical sketches as a metaphor for phases of life and personal growth.   Now she uses digital technology to transfer images on to aluminum panels to reproduce the luminosity of light.  As her artwork evolved, so did her interest in the relationship between physics and the metaphysical.  Her creative voice has become an exploration into the idea of energy exchange.  Based on a hypotheses of contemporary physics and ancient shamanism; that everything contains vibration, so as we interact with the world around us, we exchange vibrations with what we pay attention to.
