Leslie's work is in both private and public collections. Her work has been exhibited in a solo exhibit at the Governor's Gallery at the Oklahoma Capitol, Oklahoma City, OK and at the American Art in Miniature Show at the Gilcrease Museum in Tulsa, OK. Leslie is the founder and principle instructor of The Conservatory For Classical Art, a private studio school in Edmond, OK where she teaches drawing and painting in the classical tradition to both children and adults.
