About

Leslie Paulus Fine Art, Cedar Grove, WI

Member Since: January 2, 2012
Festival biz experience: 14+ years
Cedar Grove, Wisconsin

My home state of Wisconsin is on the “Fresh Coast” of the U.S., surrounded on 3 sides by the
Great Lakes and the Mississippi River. It's a gentle landscape with northern forests, iconic
farms, rolling fields, and vast horizons of blue water. I grew up in a large and loving family
where appreciation of nature and the importance of environmental stewardship was stressed.
Painting in oil allows me to represent the saturated colors and textures of nature as I see them.
I love to use expressive brushstrokes to develop impressionistic backgrounds that allow the
viewer to interpret the image in his own mind and experience. I often use palette knife and
brushed impasto techniques to bring the foreground and objects into sharper, contrasting focus.
Lately, my work has been evolving to include more detailed studies of wildlife.
I frequently enjoy painting en plein air and am self-taught. I find particular joy in the works of
John Singer Sargent, (makes me cry with wonder when I look at his paintings), Monet, and
Vermeer.
