About Leslie Brasher:
Originally from Huntsville, Alabama, and now residing in the Auburn area, Leslie
Brasher earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in graphic design at Auburn University. Although she worked in graphic design for a number of years, when she quit her job at Auburn University to home school her son she began to fit painting into her schedule. Her mother was a professional watercolorist and influenced her greatly.
She finds great enjoyment in painting with watercolors and gouache, and loves to sketch or paint just about anything, but especially the beauty she sees around her. She enjoys painting nature from life – using fresh flowers as inspiration or sitting in a shady spot and painting the view before her. She loves to travel and paint, and her style is representational.
Leslie is a member of the Alabama Plein Air Artists, a group that travels around the
state to paint together several times each year. Her greatest desire is to glorify God
with her artwork, and she prays that by painting the beauty of His creation she is
pointing viewers toward the Creator.
