When did you meet Leslie ?
It was during this time that I met the gifted ceramic sculptor , Leslie Ahrens . I was immediately captivated by her dreamy ethereal sculptures of mystical goddesses that often had the functionality of a vase or piece that would hang on the wall .
What lead you to develop a business relationship with Leslie ?
There was never a question whether I wanted her work or not , I wanted everything she had and more . And that stands as firmly today as it did back then .
What do you find most interesting about Leslie ’ s work ?
Her Goddess sculptures have a strong dose of depth and narrative freedom that makes each piece unique and personal . She is also capable of creating playful pieces , like her whimsical cats , that rarely stay in the gallery for more than a day before a cat lover spots them .
