Leslie H. Evans: Artist

Leslie is self-taught and created most of the images on her website using colored pencil. However, after completing a recent piece that incorporates both colored pencil and acrylics, Leslie has decided that she might like to concentrate more on the latter medium in the future.

Leslie has enjoyed success both here and abroad with media specific international exhibitions sponsored by both the Colored Pencil Society Of America (2011: Exceptional Merit Award) and its British counterpart the United Kingdom’s Coloured Pencil Society (2007: Picture of the Year).

Leslie has also done well with open media competition in the wildlife genre, including a People's Choice Award (2010) from the David Shepherd Wildlife Artist of the Year competition and an Award Of Excellence (2009) from the highly esteemed Society Of Animal Artists.

In addition to being a multiple finalist in the Animal/Wildlife category of Artist's Magazine's annual competition, Leslie has had a piece featured on the cover of Florida Wildlife Magazine (2009) which subsequently won a Charlie Award (2010) from the Florida Magazine Association for Best Illustration.

Her work has been on display at the San Diego Natural History Museum (San Diego, CA), the London Mall Gallery (London, UK), the Wildlife Experience (Parker, CO), the Dunnegan Gallery of Art (Bolivar, MO), the Sam Noble Oklahoma Museum Of Natural History (Norman, OK), the Rolling Hills Wildlife Adventure (Salina, KS), the Green Acres Art Center (Cincinnati, OH), the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum Art Institute (Tucson, AZ), and the Charles W. Eisemann Center (Dallas, TX).

Currently, Leslie is a signature member of the Colored Pencil Society Of America, the Society Of Animal Artists, and Artists For Conservation.
