About the Item

Artist Comments
Soft gradations of gray, white, and blue evoke a misty, ethereal atmosphere. Smooth yet textured surfaces reveal cloud-like forms that flow into one another, evoking calm and introspection. A subtle silver path crosses the top of the composition, adding a quiet structure to the minimal composition.


About the Artist
Abstract painter Leslie Ann Butler has been passionate about making art since she was a child. “In grade school I did a portrait of Robert Frost and sent it to him, and received a nice letter of thanks,” Leslie Ann recalls. Though she still enjoys creating figurative work, Leslie Ann is also intrigued by abstraction. She describes creating abstract work as entering an altered state of consciousness. Often the compositions will come to her during meditation, and she does her best to reproduce the vision in the studio. Leslie Ann works from the top floor of her Portland home, where she gets lots of natural light and a view of the city.
