Special Activities & Workshops

Leslie Hamilton is a professional artist who has been painting anything that didn't move too fast since infancy. A child prodigy, she attended art classes at Loyola Marymount in Palos Verdes, while still in Middle School, the prestigious Banff School of Fine Arts in Canada, while in high school. She obtained her art degree from California College of Arts and Crafts in Oakland and went on to freelance illustration in advertising, then launched Wristy Business, which kept her climbing ladders and painting half of the west coast for the next 25 years. Leslie now focuses on fine art, while making unique wearable art and jewelry. She has taught fine art and crafts to all ages of students, has demonstrated her techniques in workshops and is now formally teaching at the Garan Beadagio shows.
