Colorado Springs-based independent artist, Leslie McCrea, paints mainly in water media: watercolor, ink, and acrylic. Leslie finds subtle beauty and nuanced charm where least expected. Her art conveys the beauty of the ordinary through her quick journal sketches and paintings in watercolor.
Exploring the intersection between life and art, drawing, and painting requires a certain slowness of seeing, of Being, necessary for recording. Leslie loves the creative process, where she finds goodness, beauty, and truth. She strives to live the way she creates.
