Lesley Rich is equally skilled painting landscapes, cityscapes and the human form. Her lavish, impressionistic paintings resonate with color and vivid light. Her brushwork is loose, yet conveys to us all the essentials to capture the time and place...the essence of each scene.

Lesley is a world traveler and she brings her paints with her, capturing the people and places that she visits on her wonderful trips to Italy, France, China, England, Africa ....and of course here at home in California. 

A resident of the San Francisco Bay Area, Lesley is gaining national attention for her work. She has exhibited widely and  has received numerous awards.

"My paintings, even my landscapes, are more about people.

 Hopefully, they are an honest glimpse 

into the beauty of people's lives."
