We are excited to welcome Leslie McCarron as the first demo artist of 2025 at NCA’s January meeting, Wednesday, January 8, 2025 from 7-9pm.
Come join us as Leslie shares with us her painting techniques and love of vibrant colors. Her pieces reflect
her love of nature and the outdoors – her subject matter jumps off the canvas and invites the viewer to jump back on!
Leslie McCarron is a Northern California native who resides in Carmichael near the American River. Inspired by nature at a young age, Leslie brings a unique vision to all her work and incorporates strong brush strokes, thick paint and rich colors to enhance her landscape paintings and still life compositions.
Leslie’s lifelong dream of creating art became a reality when in 2006 she enrolled in fine art classes at American River College. After exhibiting natural skills and ability, Leslie was encouraged to continue her art and has studied under the guidance of many established artists and mentors.
Today, Leslie works exclusively with oil paint due to oil’s rich creamy texture and versatility. As a colorist and modern painter, her still life compositions and landscapes typically include elements of realism and abstraction with vibrant, bold color and an emphasis on light, shadow and movement. Leslie is as comfortable painting with a pallet knife as she is with a brush, often using both tools in a single painting.
