She taught in the textile arts program at Capilano University, Vancouver, Canada to 2003 while continuing her practice as a studio artist. Lesley now works full time in her studio. Lesley’s work is in collections in the USA, Japan, Poland, Korea and Canada, including but not limited to: Racine Art Museum, Racine, WI, Baltimore Museum of Art, and The Central Museum of Textiles, Lodz, Poland.

Lesley photographs trees, focusing on the intricacy of their branching structures and then prints these images on cloth, using a medium that creates a dimensional surface. She then eliminates selected background areas, leaving the structural images of trees as the dominant feature. The images are then painted with metal patinas and pigments.
