Lesley moved to Scotland several years ago from the North East of England where she had worked as a graphic designer and watercolour illustrator before taking a degree course in printmaking. 

She now works professionally as an intaglio printmaker and oil painter where the two contrasting mediums give her alternative ways to portray the landscape. She loves the detail of a monochrome print but also the softness of colour that can be created using oils.  

Her work is atmospheric and her more usual subjects are rocks, trees and the fantastic skies with the wonderful quality of light to be found in this part of Scotland.
