Her horses...
Her horses become expressive icons of the
soul, perhaps reflecting her own personal spiritual journey.

Melanie Wade Leslie
"I work out my ideas
in traditional means like watercolor for example and then develop and evolve the
final imagery through collage and collagraphic methods."
"It's the piecing together of interesting
textures, shapes and color that fascinates me."

"In printmaking my processes gravitate toward collagraphic techniques because of the rich
textural and fibrous qualities I can achieve through transferring the imagery of
found objects. The energy of seeing these objects in a new and different context
is like breaking through a language barrier or gaining insight into something
previously incomprehensible."

It’s All About the
Horses . . .
A lifetime
fascination with horses is the inspiration behind
Melanie Leslie’s desire to illuminate equine form and energy
through a synthesis of color and texture.
