Early life and education
editLeslie Shows was born in 1977 in Manteca, California.[2] Her childhood in Juneau, Alaska had an intense impact on the work she would create as an adult.[2] She received her B.F.A. degree in 1999 from the San Francisco Art Institute (SFAI), and earned her M.F.A. degree from the California College of the Arts (CCA) in 2006.[3]
Work
editShows' earlier works were mixed-media collages depicting abstracted landscapes.[4] Her more recent paintings, while retaining the use of mixed media, have become more abstracted and focus on mineral textures and geologic features.[4][5] Her work is included in the collection at San Francisco Museum of Modern Art.[6]
