Abstract, Figurative, Still Life, and Landscape Painter Leslie Oberdorfer

About Leslie Oberdorfer

Leslie Oberdorfer’s paintings exhibit an abundant use of color, ranging from brilliant hues to softly modeled warm tones. She moves easily between abstract and representational images and uses traditional materials including oil, pastel, acrylic, and charcoal, often combining them to create rich texture within her work. She probes the physical nature of her subject to also reveal its emotional content. Oberdorfer continues to investigate common shapes shared by the human figure and other natural forms. She interprets and manipulates the objects and space in her compositions to reflect her personal imagination, producing dynamic paintings.

Oberdorfer’s paintings have been exhibited in Washington, DC, Louisiana, Maryland, and Virginia. Her work hangs in personal collections throughout the country.
