Artist Leslie Clark travels widely and paints constantly searching for new perspective and old wisdom. Lured by exotic cultures around the globe, she paints with the urgency of knowing they are being transformed by the intrusion of the modern world. She spends as much as six months a year on the road or living in her studio in Niger, West Africa, where she paints nomadic people.
The cultures she has visited have so enriched her life that she tries to repay this gift, through the Nomad Foundation, a nonprofit organization seeking to blend cultural preservation with economic opportunity.
