Biography:
Leslie Masters loves color and defines herself first and foremost as ?a color painter.? A lot of painters are subject-oriented, but for me it?s all about the ?color first,? she says. Her goal as an artist is to capture the feeling of light as it surrounds us. The impressionist painter Monet is her source. Her vehicle is acrylic paint and she likes to add light?neon or incandescent?for more glow. Her current paintings beautifully explore the abstract color glow found in the landscape around her in her studio as well as in the mountains and canyons of the American west.
Masters was born in West Lafayette, Indiana, where she says she started doing art when she was very young. ?My mother said I never asked ?what can I do?? Instead it was always ?what can I make??? she says.
Masters received a B.A. in Fine Arts from the University of Indiana, and an M.A. in art from the University of Michigan. She moved to Birmingham, MI with her family in 1963. After living in Birmingham for 20 years, she relocated to Ypsilanti, all while continuing to teach advanced painting and color theory classes at the BBAC (Birmingham Bloomfield Art Center) two days a week. ?Some of my students have been with me for quite a while,? she says. Over the years she has also taught at several local colleges and art schools, including the College for Creative Studies, University of Michigan Dearborn and Mercy College (now University of Detroit Mercy).
?I have had a rich and satisfying career and teaching is my joy and passion,? says Masters. ?It works together with my painting and color exploration to keep me a happy artist. My continued goal is to treasure every day and to always be in the moment.?
