My name is Leslie Helena Evans and I was born on a U.S. military base in Japan. Shortly after my birth, our family's housemaids started calling me "Chisaii"and I was stuck with this nickname for life! Today I sign all my artwork with this Japanese word which means "Little One."
I developed a passion for painting and drawing at a young age and my love of art still persists to this day. Although my creative output had to be shelved for several years because of family obligations, in 2002 I decided to resurrect both my studio and my art career! My preferred medium is colored pencil and my subject matter includes endangered species and conservation-minded projects like waterfowl stamp images.
