Libby Leshgold Gallery

 A solitary, meditative state of walking and building a relationship with place is integral to my art making, an intentional mindset that is reflected in my studio practice. This act of walking coupled with a mindful drawing practice is how I connect to and  better understand the world around me.  Through long hours of slowly building up marks, in a tedious but gentle moving meditation; aware of every tiny mark and how it adds up with every other tiny mark building into an illusion representative of these landscapes I inhabit.
