We have an internationally known portrait artist in our midst. The work of Leslie Adams has been exhibited in numerous museums, included in private and public collections in the United States and abroad, and has received many prestigious awards. In addition, she has completed commissions for several official portraits for the State of Ohio, including the Senate and Supreme Court. On Sunday, March 30, at 2pm, Adams discusses her work as the featured speaker for the Sr. Mary Jane Sorosiak Lecture Series at Lourdes University. As Todd Matteson, chair of Lourdes Department of Art, puts it: “It is great for Lourdes University to have such an astounding and accomplished artist share her passion with us. Leslie is not just an artist but a teacher, mentor and an arts advocate. It is not every day that we have such local talent in front of us, especially someone that has been successful regionally, nationally and internationally.”
