Leslie Rottner

I’m a collage artist and maker of natural art brushes. I live in the Adirondacks where I am surrounded by natural beauty which inspires me on so many levels. I work primarily in analog collage but cross over to mixed media as the two work so well together. As a self taught artist, I use an intuitive and thoughtful approach to transform often overlooked materials into a new visual story. My collage work is created with vintage papers, old books, type, photography and ephemera. I draw inspiration from the age and imperfections of these materials and I create art with a fresh contemporary feel. My work ranges from simple and contemplative to abstract and energetic.
