Leslie Aguillard

Leslie Aguillard received her art degree in 1968 from Illinois State University although she had been drawing and painting since a young child, lucky enough also to have art training all through her school years. She has worked in art ever since, owning her own commercial art studio, Artemis Arts, in Denver for more than 17 years. See recent paintings on leslie.
"I have a variety of subjects from the American Indian to feminist political images and even exercises in landscapes. I prefer the more abstraction although my subjects have not been entirely non-objective. I paint in both oil and acrylics, as well as draw. And often do three dimensional work in wood and marble."
"Although I understand the desire people have to decorate their homes and match their sofas, I feel fine art and collecting contemporary art is more than interior decoration. If that is all someone wants or needs, they should go to a poster shop or hang drapery and carpeting. If someone fears they cannot afford real art, they should consider buying it to hang in their businesses, write it off on their taxes as part of the office decor, the tax man will depreciate it over a few years and voila! they become art patrons just the way big corporations do...then the CEO takes the art home, and so can you!!"
Women have been under represented in shows and history books but that does not mean there are not fabulous and dynamic women artists all over the world... perhaps we need to get together more often, do more shows together, ask galleries to show more, and of course they will if we buy some art! So, buy art! Make art! There is little else more worthy of money, of time, of acquiring than art!"
Leslie also writes fiction, poetry and articles on a wide variety of subjects. Contact her at Artemis Arts po box 40435, Denver, CO 80204 or through leslie
Leslie's husband, Ferenc Gyulafia, is a Hungarian born engraver, photographer, martial arts teacher and avid cyclist.

Leslie Aguillard is an outspoken and independent woman, a career artist on the path of being an artist, educating other women to free themselves from traditional and limiting roles and mostly to live as a compassionate human, protective of the earth, and of being a healer.

Leslie è una donna franca ed indipendente e un artista di carriera. Il suo percorso è non soltanto l'arte, ma istruire le donne per fare più con le loro vite che i ruoli tradizionali del womanhood. Sia un artista, un healer, un insegnante, uno scienziato ed assistente tecnico... abbiamo troppi bambini, troppi guerrieri, troppa negligenza per la nostra terra del pianeta. Le donne non sono bestiami e troppo lungamente non sono state rispettate per essere metà della popolazione del mondo, metà dei rapporti umani.

Leslie est une femme franche et indépendante et un artiste de carrière. Son chemin est non seulement art, mais pour instruire des femmes pour faire plus avec leurs vies que les rôles traditionnels du womanhood. Soyez un artiste, un guérisseur, un professeur, un scientifique, et ingénieur... nous avons trop d'enfants, trop de guerriers, trop de négligence pour notre terre de planète. Les femmes ne sont pas des bétail et n'ont pas été trop longtemps respectées pour être la moitié de la population du monde, moitié des rapports humains.

Leslie ist eine freimütige und unabhängige Frau und ein Karrierekünstler. Ihr Weg ist nicht nur kunst, aber, Frauen zu erziehen, um mehr mit ihren Leben als die traditionellen Rollen von womanhood zu tun. Seien Sie ein Künstler, ein Healer, ein Lehrer, ein Wissenschaftler, und Ingenieur... haben wir zu viele Kinder, zu viele Warriors, zu viel Mißachtung für unsere Planetenmasse. Frauen sind nicht Vieh und sind zu lang nicht für Sein Hälfte der Bevölkerung der Welt, Hälfte der menschlichen Verhältnisse respektiert worden.
