A 'late-in-life' painter, I took my first watercolor class in the early 2000s. My teacher told me that I could probably be good at this if I learned how to draw! A few drawing classes, more watercolor workshops, a portrait, figure, and pastel class here and there and I am loving it!
As an active member in the St Michaels Art League, I have exhibited in several venues on Maryland's Eastern Shore. In 2012 I received the 25th Annual Brittain Banghart Award for drawing, painting, etching or sculpture depicting the human figure at the Academy Art Museum's Member's Show in Easton, Maryland.

"A sense of wonder" speaks to how Leslie Goldman creates: developing characters and landscapes drawn from memory and folklore, a childlike curiosity and the senses - crafting visceral works that give the viewer’s imagination room to explore.
Leslie predominantly works with oil paint, graphite, pastel, ink and wax; building up, sanding down and scratching into layers to create a dreamlike atmosphere.
