ABOUT THE ARTIST

|
Dramatic, sometimes unconventional use of color is the common thread throughout Leslie Rohonczy's work. Her delicate florals, compelling landscapes, powerful abstracts, portraits and nudes make up this diversely varied body of work.
In 1980, Leslie Rohonczy graduated from the Commercial Arts program at Algonquin College in Ottawa, Canada. She has written several articles on Creativity and the Art business, as featured on several national and international websites and publications. Leslie is also a singer/songwriter, and performs with popular Ottawa blues band The Runes, and has a business background in marketing, communications, strategy and change management.
Leslie Rohonczy lives and paints in Ottawa, Canada.
It is my desire to create works of art that elicit an emotional reaction. Through use of dramatic, sometimes unconventional colour and form, I hope to make a meaningful connection with the viewer that enriches and energizes.
I believe that creativity is a simple equation with a very complex impact. The combination of imagination and curiosity are two wonderful gifts that, combined, are larger than the sum of their parts: IMAGINATION + CURIOSITY = CREATIVITY.
Art is therapy. Art is joy. Art is frustration, realization, discovery and enlightenment. And I am thankful for the journey every day.
