Born in Zambia, now resides in South Africa. Initially a visual artist working in paint, mixed media and sculpture, with work exhibited and sold locally (South Africa) and internationally. A member of the KwaZulu Natal ‘Garret’ artists group for eight years + Les is now a freelance photographer equally at home with fine art, documentary and commercial images. Her photography is most strongly influenced by her own background as an artist, and it is this instinct to assay and reveal the essence of her subject that distinguishes her work. Texture, tone and especially movement are her particular delight.
