Take a Hike with Me
Leslie Paulet’s Biography
Leslie Paulet resides in Steinbach with her husband, Nick, and two sons, Tyler and Troy. While living in Alberta throughout most of her 20’s, Leslie immediately fell in love with the mountains. Ironically, it wasn’t until Leslie moved back to Manitoba that she became an avid hiker and an ‘occasional’ mountain climber in the Himalayas in Nepal. Her favorite thing to do in the world is throw on a backpack with all her gear and head out on the trail for a few hours, a few days or a few weeks at a time. Her next favorite thing to do is turn on the music and paint. If Leslie isn’t out on the trail in nature, she can most likely be found at home painting it. Consistently painting for the past 5 years, Leslie is self-taught. She continues to learn new techniques and skills with every brushstroke. Primarily using acrylic paint on canvas or wood, she will often add texture to her work with canvas paste or cover finished pieces with coats of resin. Most of her pieces are bright and vibrant with a bit of an abstract/contemporary feel; however, she sometimes chooses to work solely with shades of grey or monochromatic colors. One thing all her pieces have in common, is inspiration always comes from time spent on the trail.
Leslie hopes you will find inspiration in her work to head out into nature yourself.
