Leslie Donaldson is a multi-disciplinary artist whose work is inspired by her northern Michigan roots and her childhood experiences in her father's taxidermy studio. Working from found objects and graphic patterns, Leslie assembles small sculptures and develops 2D source material from which she creates works on paper and installations.

Leslie graduated with a BFA from Michigan State University and an MFA from the Rhode Island School of Design. She has held artist residencies at Vermont Studio Center and Oxbow.
