Leslie Cline is a vibrant and expressive painter whose work is inspired by a deep connection to wildlife, nature, and colour. Although her portfolio includes florals, landscapes, and abstract works, animals remain at the heart of her artistic practice.

Following a safari through Africa, Leslie was captivated by the experience of observing wildlife in its natural habitat. The encounter sparked a passion for painting animals that has remained central to her work ever since. While she was once encouraged to pursue more commercially popular subjects, she ultimately embraced wildlife as her true artistic voice.

For Leslie, painting is both a creative and personal journey. Her bold use of colour reflects her joyful approach to art, while her subjects celebrate the beauty, spirit, and diversity of the natural world. Though inspiration may occasionally lead her to other themes, wildlife continues to be the enduring focus of her work.
