Leslie Ormond

By day, I'm a children's librarian and storyteller at a wonderful public library. I'm inspired by nature, magical realism children's books, and by all ages who defiantly refuse to give up their childhood spark of joy and adventure. I began learning traditional oil paint in summer of 2021 as a hobby. I'd never painted before and found that I picked it up fairly quickly. I'm excited to try another medium, gouache, to learn illustration techniques and create a sketchbook habit which led me to Domestika. I'm so happy to be here!
