Leslie Shows (born 1977) is an American artist, who is recognized for expanding the boundaries of landscape painting. [1]
Leslie Shows was born in 1977 in Manteca, California. [2] Her childhood in Juneau, Alaska had an intense impact on the work she would create as an adult. [2] She received her B.F.A. degree in 1999 from the San Francisco Art Institute (SFAI), and earned her M.F.A. degree from the California College of the Arts (CCA) in 2006. [3]
Shows' earlier works were mixed-media collages depicting abstracted landscapes. [4] Her more recent paintings, while retaining the use of mixed media, have become more abstracted and focus on mineral textures and geologic features. [4] [5] Her work is included in the collection at San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. [6]
