Artist’s Bio

After a career in law publishing, Leslie enrolled in the Capilano College IDEA Program, a three-year full-time certificate program in graphic design and illustration. Since graduating in 2004, she has worked as a graphic designer for UBC Public Affairs and for my own design firm, POMPOM design in West Vancouver. I also write a weekly community newspaper column, The Road Rules, and illustrate and paint on commission and for juried exhibitions.

Modern Masters Doedex are handmade and hand painted salt-dough decorations with designs inspired by the masters of modern art. The slow-baked forms are coated in a latex primer-sealer, painted with acrylic paint and coated with a UV and water resistant varnish. Lightweight and resilient, if kept dry and at room temperature, they will last for many years.
