Paint on Canvas
by Leslie Ditto
Born in Memphis, Tennesse artist Leslie Ditto was raised in a Harley Davidson shop owned by her father and uncle, where she witnessed them build and paint motorcycles. It was in this garage that her fascination in surrealism can be rooted, where gas tanks (and other surfaces) were often painted with fantasy images that were inspired by such legendary artists as Frank Frazetta and Boris Vallejo.
Since beginning her fine art career in 2008 Leslie has shown in contemporary galleries in the US and abroad. She has had two successful sold-out solo shows at Copro Gallery in Santa Monica. Leslie has been featured in several art magazines and books, as well as working with Maynard James Keenan (TOOL, A Perfect Circle, Puscifer) to create the 2012 tour poster for Puscifer. Leslie’s “Dali” oil painting was featured in the Kustum Kulture II exhibition at Huntington Beach Art Center, CA. She also created pieces for the Huntsville Art Museum for their annual Breast Cancer Charity and for the Tokyo Love Show for Keep a Breast Japan.
