Artist Statement

Leslie Ann Aguillard received an art and teaching degree from Illinois State University in 1968. She ran a commercial studio for over 27 years and in retirement transitioned to studio artist, part-time freelancer, and teacher and mentor to art students.

​

As both a commercial artist and designer, her work has spanned a variety of media and genres—from marble carving to sketching cartoons, from commercial design to fine art, from crafting fiber art to designing couture art creations.

​

"Art has shaped society since ancient times and needs to continue to push our evolution forward. I have been an artist all my life, creating statements from the heart, my mood, and the moment. It is one woman's experience. It is how I communicate, it is the heart on my sleeve. As I age as an artist, I explore different media and processes. I like working in series. The 'Coloring Book Series' became an interactive piece at the WCA-CO member show at Core New Art Space in January 2019."
