Leslie Singer is a figurative painter who approaches each work as a study of light and shadow upon which she builds, embellishes and then erases. “My goal is to go beyond traditional portraiture to capture mood or evoke emotion, without necessarily defining it, she says. “ I try to retain an element of mystery that draws the viewer into the piece and allows them to create their own narrative.” Singer works from studios in New York and Santa Fe. Her paintings are owned by collectors in the Americas, Europe, and Asia Pacific.
