Leslie Thornton is an abstract painter drawn to the idea of each person’s individual sense of beauty and how this is informed over a lifetime. Her compositions consist of fluid organic and linear shapes, abstract masses, and spontaneous gestures. She enjoys exploring ranges of depth color and movement to create pieces that hold together and become a balanced work which evokes a sense of physicality, energy, whimsy, and wonder. Leslie’s work has been shown in numerous juried exhibits in the Mid Atlantic as well as national online and international in person exhibitions and hangs in collector’s homes around the world. Previously, Leslie had a 33+ year career in the convention management business in Washington DC.
