MEET THE PRESENTER
Leslie Roussel is an experienced artist in several mediums. Vincent Van Gogh and Georgia O’Keefe are two of her favorite artists. Her interests include drawing, beading, and creative paper art, and she still practices what she learned at New Orleans Academy of Fine Arts, with drawing, watercolor, acrylic and oil painting.
Leslie uses found materials, recycling “trash paper” to make journals. She started this during the Covid shutdown, working with a friend (via email) at a time when going out for art supplies was not an option. She began using what was at hand to create interesting objects, and then learned to create books. Leslie's unique beading and book binding items stand out as one-of-a-kind individual, precious pieces.
