About Leslie Trewyn (1941-2017)
Leslie was raised in DePere, Wisconsin and graduated with a B.S. in Art Education from the University of Wisconsin, Madison. She married in 1963 and moved to Waupun where she began her teaching career. The Trewyns built a home and raised their family on a small farm. For more than 50 years, Leslie taught and created art noted for colorful, distinctive acrylics based on her travels and readings. She began exhibiting her paintings in 1963, and through decades of experience evolved an eclectic, distinctive, personal style, inspired by literature, childhood memories, romance, and her life on a small farm. Her art reflects extensive world travel including China, Europe, Russia, West Africa, New Zealand, South America and Mexico, taking her experiences as points of reference and transforming them into visual creations. Leslie said, “I try to evoke the feeling of a trip rather than paint the actual scenes.” She exhibited in her studio, galleries, art fairs and museums, receiving many awards. Her work was exhibited nationally and has been part of numerous large exhibits throughout the country, including Coconut Grove Festival of the Arts, Chicago Old Town Art Fair and Ann Arbor Street Fair.
