LESLIE Nan Moon has always LOVED to make art. Printmaking has been her passion since she first discovered it as an elective her freshman year of undergraduate school (her intended major was sculpture). She was hooked. Leslie graduated from the University of the Arts in Philadelphia with a BFA in Printmaking and Book Arts and her heart has been that of a printmaker ever since. After graduating in 1994 she was drawn to the unmatched beauty of the Pacific Northwest and made it my home where I find endless inspiration. Leslie shares: “Art has truly saved my soul and my sanity. Up until the very end of 2023 I had been the full time caregiver for my profoundly autistic adult son who has intermitted explosive disorder, intellectual disability and OCD as well. Trevor is currently living (and thriving) in an intermediate care facility which has given me time to take care of myself. Sharing my love for printmaking through teaching is another passion and I currently do so in several art centers throughout Washington State. In short, I don’t just love to make art, I NEED to make art.”
