Leslie Lesko is a self-taught painter and photographer whose watercolors, pastel paintings, and fine art photography have been exhibited across Delaware and the Mid-Atlantic region. Her work often explores macro floral studies, intimate portraits, and abstract compositions. Leslie’s watercolor abstracts draw deeply from her experiences with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and her background in clinical psychology. Leslie views ADHD not as a disorder, but as a unique lens through which she processes information, perceives sensory stimulation, and navigates emotion. The ongoing tension between order and chaos informs her work, which is built in transparent watercolor on cold-pressed paper. As an active member of the regional arts community, Leslie coordinates the Rehoboth Art League’s weekly sketch group. In 2025 she was invited to join the Cape Artists Gallery in Lewes and was awarded an Opportunity Grant from the Delaware Division of the Arts to support conservation framing for her upcoming solo exhibition at the Dover Public Library.
