British artist Lesley Giles is known primarily for her colorful, coastal landscape paintings. They portray her fascination with water, sky, washing lines floating in the wind and solitary buildings. A figurative artist, her style is formalized with a wave to abstraction.

Originally from London, Lesley now paints in her studio overlooking the Choptank River on the Eastern Shore, Maryland, where she explores the effect of development on our landscapes and the beauty in the ordinary.
