Leslie Fandrich is a multidisciplinary artist with a background in photography and graphic design, currently creating works in collage. Fandrich was born in Canada in 1975, moved to the United States at the age of 23 and became an American Citizen in 2014. She earned a Degree in Visual Arts with a major in Photographic Arts from The Alberta College of Art and Design in Calgary, Alberta in 1997 and went on to work as a graphic designer in Minneapolis and New York City for prominent advertising agencies and design firms such as Fallon McElligott, Duffy Design, Roger Black's Interactive Bureau, VSA Partners and MNovak Design. In 2004 she began working at Columbia University as Lead Designer for Undergraduate Websites.

Following 10 years of graphic design work in New York City, Fandrich moved to the rural area of Warwick, New York and began a freelance practice in design, photography and writing that enabled her to stay involved with her young family and raise her two boys. She was a successful blogger for five years and very involved in the blogging community, attending a number of conferences including BlogHer, Mom 2.0 Summit, ALT Summit and Camp Mighty.

Leslie Fandrich began her career as an artist in 2012 exploring photography, painting and drawing. Now, integrating her experience and aesthetic preferences from design, photography and art, she has reached a new level of expression and understanding about the stories she tells through her work.
