- LESLIE FRONTZ earned the M.F.A. in studio arts, is recognized in Who's Who in America and Who's Who in American Art, and has had work featured in The Artist's Magazine and U.S. Art. Her paintings have been exhibited in notable public, corporate and private galleries, including the Smithsonian. She is a signature member of the Southern Watercolor Society (U.S.A.) and the Society of Women Artists (London).

- Leslie Frontz studied
watercolor with Bernard Evans in England, the
birthplace of watercolor painting as a fine art
medium. To this day, the artist's admiration for the
traditional English school of watercolor is clearly
evident in her work. Her painting technique is clean
and direct, using a minimum amount of brushwork to
indicate her subjects with great simplicity. The
effect leaves much to our imagination while convincing
us of the authenticity of her observations. Balancing
luminous grays against pure color accents, she
captures not only the literal scene, but also instills
it with light and atmosphere.
-
- One notices immediately that
landscapes dominate her catalog. A closer inspection,
however, reveals her preference for subjects that
incorporate a human element, particularly figures,
architecture and maritime themes. It should not be
surprising that subjects from both Britain and America
hold a prominent place in her work, as she maintains
family and business ties on both sides of the
Atlantic. To even the most informed eye, her appeal
covers an astonishingly broad range.
