Growing up in Montana, Leslie Drake-Robinson was fascinated with the natural beauty that surrounded her. She earned her B.F.A. in Art from the University of Montana and 1979 and immediately began marketing her artwork in the northwest. Leslie’s talent was quickly discovered, and soon her pieces were being made into limited edition prints and licensed products. Though known primarily for her lush landscapes, Leslie has recently been gaining notoriety for her portrait work as well. Teaching art part-time and the lush Montana landscape is a continuing source of inspiration, and her work is constantly evolving.
