Kristin Leslie is a contemporary emerging painter whose work interrogates the relationship between intuition, emotion, and abstraction.

Leslie’s practice is grounded in the spontaneous, fluid process of gestural painting, where color, texture, and form converge to evoke complex psychological states and moments of transformation.

Her dynamic compositions, which embrace imperfection and uncertainty, engage the viewer in a visceral dialogue with the materiality of paint and the act of creation itself. Through bold, instinct-driven brushstrokes, Leslie’s work becomes a site of constant flux—a visual manifestation of the tension between control and surrender.
