Leslie Leong has two photography books to her credit on Canada's Northwest Territories. The results of her camera and pen show up in Northern Canadian books, magazines and other publications. Her art practice also includes ceramics, silversmith work, painting, illustration & sculpture, with an emphasis on reclaimed & recycled materials. She has held over 20 solo exhibits, and many participated in many more group exhibitions. She shares her art with the intention of engaging others in the inquiry into the human condition, society, and our disassociation with our natural environment. Leslie has years of experience developing art based programs and teaching them to a wide range of ages in Yukon schools. Leslie is available throughout the school year, except for late Nov./December.
