Leslie Stadnichuk
Leslie took up drawing in the early 90’s and then transitioned into painting. Many workshops and classes have informed her practice including folk art, pastels, watercolors and acrylic painting as well as USCAD classes. In the last 15 years she has painted almost exclusively in oils.Her florals and landscapes are an attempt to capture the beauty that surrounds us in creation. Her realistic pieces, often done with bold colors, capture the essence of her subject bringing the viewer into the emotion which inspired the work. Leslie is a juried member of the Saskatchewan Craft Council and the Artists’ Workshop group.
