LESLIE ALLEN

Leslie Allen makes jewelry and bright, colorful, abstract compositions in marker and paint. She has been crafting and art making at V+V since before the Pandemic and consistently experiments with new materials. 

To Leslie, the point of creating is to enjoy what she makes, so she sells a lot of her jewelry to friends and family—encouraging them to decorate themselves with her colorful creations. Whenever Leslie is making art, she tries to take her time, and think mindfully about the final piece, because if she does so, then people will appreciate the work more.
