ROMANTIC NARRATIVE includes a comprehensive collection of 128 images of original art spanning 40 years of her career as an artist. The reader can follow Leslie\u2019s progress at developing her technique, motifs and a distinctive style in paintings which suggest a sensual, moody story that is never made completely explicit, but which the viewer senses is present in the otherwise graceful, quiet figures and landscapes.<\/p>\n

ROMANTIC NARRATIVE was written and designed by John Witham, with contributions by Linda Leslie, Scott MacLaren, Lisa Simon, Ph.D. and Bradley Weaver. The exceptionally fine color separations and pre-press production is by Robert Erlichman, of Art Guild Press.<\/p>\n

Dark Matter – a Poetry and Art Sketchbook<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

The concept of this collaboration with Shaun Gant was to handwrite poems on clear acetate to overlay paintings and drawings, creating an abstract image. The result is a sketchbook containing pages for readers to use in a similar process. While the poems and paintings do not caption each other, they are paired purposefully to invite readers to create their own “dark matter” in between the poems and art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
