Leslie Holgate is a Canadian artist celebrated for her vivid and realistic portrayals of wildlife, landscapes, and still life. Deeply inspired by the rugged beauty of the Rocky Mountains and the wildlife that inhabit them, Holgate blends realism with impressionistic touches to evoke both visual splendor and emotional depth. Working primarily in acrylics, her art captures the interplay of light, texture, and movement, often featuring majestic mountain scenes and meticulously detailed animals.
Leslie works out of a studio nestled in Canmore, Alberta where the surrounding wilderness of the Bow Valley fuel her creativity. Holgate’s work has been showcased in numerous exhibitions across Central Alberta, including the Calgary Stampede Western Art Show.
