Inspiration for Lesley’s contemporary paintings, pictured right, comes from the Borders countryside, and she regularly exhibits her work at the Flat Cat Gallery in Lauder.

Whilst travelling, Lesley collects images in her sketch book and on camera. Back in the studio she seeks to recreate the essence and drama of the beautiful Borders countryside.
