Leslie Stroz is a professional artist, illustrator and art professor.

Before moving to England in 2014, Leslie taught art at the State University of New York in Geneseo. She now lives in the English countryside, nestled on a rolling hill between the moors and the sea, where she has an endless array of heather and waves to paint, and where she teaches private lessons and workshops in drawing and painting. She spent most of her life teaching traditional drawing and painting skills, but the scenery that surrounds her has sparked a fascination with painting landscape and nature.
