About the Business

Lesley took up watercolour painting in 1986, shortly after getting married and moving to Maidenhead. Painting had always been a favourite hobby of hers however, and a sketch book always accompanied her on travels to Europe as a student and on holiday. Lesley studied German and French at Exeter University, during which time she lived in Germany for a year. After completing her degree, she trained to become a teacher, and taught Modern Languages for 4 years before leaving full time employment to have children. Lesley first exhibited her watercolours at Henley in 1987 has since sold her paintings at galleries, local exhibitions, at craft shows and from home. Lesley's work depicts primarily English scenes, but she also enjoys painting views of Venice, Italy, France and other places to which she has travelled.
