Leslie’s Bio
Leslie Dietsch is a SE Michigan based artist who paints primarily in oil. Her work highlights the places and people of the Midwest. Living in the watershed of the Great Lakes, her landscape paintings feature wetlands, and the incredible foliage therein. Seascapes include sailing on Lake Erie from a first hand perspective. Still life paintings of food, whimsical toys, and florals can be seen around the Toledo, Ohio area. Recently, Leslie has been working in portraiture, hoping to capture the character of those she holds dear.
In addition to oil painting, Leslie finds great joy in exploration of social norms. Picking the brain of the collective, she uses input from the public in her installation pieces. Her latest project ‘word work’ on magnetic sheets hope to inspire others and create a sense of belonging while being temporary and full of folly.
Leslie Dietsch is an active member of the Toledo Artist Club, Oil Painters of America, and is chair of Point Place Area Art Committee. She shows her work throughout the northern Midwest and is honored to be part of Athena.
