This web site highlights a series of original acrylic and oil paintings of Tuscany and surrounding areas of the Italian Riviera. These original italian paintings and limited edition giclee prints represent a portion of a body of work created between the years 2002-2005 by Artist, Writer and Photographer, Leslie Ehrin.
Leslie Ehrin started painting at age sixteen months, in York, PA, when her mother, a Watercolorist and Art Educator, put her in the bathtub to paint on sheets of newsprint taped to the walls, and paint brushes in babyfood jars filled with tempra paint sitting on the edge of the tub.
Prior to studying Painting /Fine Art academically at Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, at age 25, Leslie first graduated with undergraduate degrees in Art History and English Literature from The University of Pennsylvania. After working as an Acquisitions Editor in the Publishing Industry with Prentice-Hall Publishers, for three years, (1981-1984 ) she returned to graduate school in Philadelphia at Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts to study Painting for four years in the Certificate Program, which later became the MFA Program at U of P. During that time at PAFA, she researched the Collection on a part time basis in the Museum of American Art at Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts and worked for Barbara Wallace & Associates Art Consultants, selling fine art to corporations.
After completing her studies at PAFA, Leslie managed a Native American Art Gallery in Chestnut Hill, (Philadelphia), PA. which led to her managing what was then called The Art Sales & Rental Gallery at Philadelphia Museum of Art, (now Artworks Gallery) where she developed corporate art collections for numerous companies in the Philadelphia region 1991-2000. more here
