Featured Artist | Leslie Shewring

I have been working with Studio Calico for almost a year. I have really enjoyed it as I LOVE paper!

Can you tell us about your creative process? What mediums do you work with, what inspires you?

My creative process is pretty varied. I work in a few different mediums to always keep things interesting. I love to paint with watercolors, I enjoy collage and journaling as well as photography and styling. Of course gardens inspire me as well as travel.

Would you mind giving us a peek into your creative space?

No problem. Right now I am working out of a space in the downtown area of Victoria, BC. I like the space because it is bright and open and easy to take photographs in. I keep all my supplies in large cupboards and drawers for easy access. I am about to start work on another book so this space will be very busy over the next few months!

We’d love to see more of your art! Could you share a couple of your favorite projects?

My favorite projects recently have been my book I co-wrote with Holly Becker, Decorate with Flowers, and my fabric collection for Cloud Nine, called Palos Verdes.

Where can we find more of your work?

My book is available on Amazon and the fabrics are online. I share what I am up to pretty regularly on Instagram.
