Artist Information<\/strong><\/p>\n

Rogate\u2019s Boutique will host local artist, Leslie Campbell, during the October First Thursday Art Walk.<\/p>\n

\u201cMost of my work features a woman on a journey in life. As a military spouse, I\u2019ve been on lots of journeys all over the world. In today\u2019s Army, the spouse is usually on the journey alone or with other women. We often seek each other\u2019s company to get through a deployment or new move, and sometimes we are ok with just being alone and finding ourselves.”<\/p>\n

“To some extent, with each move and deployment we re-create ourselves, often times into stronger more independent women. I see myself in a lot of what I create and I sense those images resonate with a lot different women. Not just military spouses.”<\/p>\n

“The works are mixed media paintings in which an image gets layers of paint, colored pencils, charcoal, oil pastels, textiles, and papers until I\u2019ve created the perfect woman in her perfect world. My pieces are meant to empower women and make people smile and daydream.”<\/p>\n
