Leslie Anne grew up in Northern Minnesota on the north flowing Mississippi River. Her childhood was led with books, nature, and art. Being born to an extremally artistic mother and earth conscience forester father, the early exposure to art and nature molded Leslie Anne into the artist she is today. Primarily working with rejected bits and pieces of rusted metals, discarded glass items, nuts, bolts, doll heads and, limbs. Leslie Anne assembles these items into art dolls and collages. Leslie Anne’s hope is that her art stirs something in the viewer and hopefully that is joy. Leslie Anne resides in River Falls, with her talented artist husband, Samuel, and their two crazy angora cats.
