Lesley has exhibited & sold her work in Europe the USA & China
"I first saw Lesley's work at the Barbican Center London in 1991 & wrote about it in the London Sunday Times ............The boldness of her colour is matched by a strength of design that is all too rare in contemporary art. Here is an artist with a down-to-earth sureness of vision that is immensely beguiling" Andrew Lambirth Art Critic Spectator Magazine London
