Writer

Lesley's advising style comes from her life experiences. Residential real estate is as much about the life moment creating the need for guidance as the property itself. Her ability to show great empathy with her clients navigating challenging times comes from her own personal experiences that she writes about to help others through similar times. Read her writings about what we are told to survive quietly.

Artist

Lesley was born and raised on the shores of the Pacific Ocean. Combined with her love of the sea and fascination of how the Impermanence of a wave reflects moments in life, her work begins with a photograph of a single wave. She shapes each backing from salvaged wood, molding and reworking what was once damaged and discarded into something new. Her work is a reminder that what has been broken or weathered has value. Together, the impermanence of a wave combined with the reclaimed wood reflect life: nothing stays the same, beauty is brief, and even what’s been damaged or lost can be transformed into something beautiful again.
