Over the course of the past 25 years, Ms. Ebert's artwork has traversed several art mediums. Beginning with paper and print making, where she pushed at the boundaries of how to combine processes, this led to explorations in collage with acrylics that morphed into mixed media paintings. As those paintings became more about Ebert's interest in the empty space in-between things, where light, energy and vibration are at work in the background of our lives. Ebert began picking up a camera to document light as reference material. These early studies evolved into her current work, painterly photography of light and its environs. Today, Ms Ebert uses macro photography to dissect rays of light into their most basic colors and structures, revealing a visual language for theoretical physics and concepts of an interconnected universe. 

Leslie Ebert's unique photography of the EM field travels to Scope Miami with the 2015 Exsposure Awards.  The group See.Me out of New York has arranged to take  their digital show on the road.  The photographers who were juried into the 2015 Exposure Awards that resulted in a digital exhibit presented earlier this summer at the Louver Museum in Paris are getting the opportunity for a second run  at Scope Miami in December.

The SCOPE Art show has garnered extensive critical acclaim and is said to be the largest global art fair in the world for emerging contemporary art.  See.Me  has selected The photography of Leslie Ebert to be included in the collection Stories Within Images to be exhibited at SCOPE Art Fair. The Final Show can be viewed December 1st-6th at:
