PrintLeslie Hudson-Tolles counts herself among the few lucky people who work and live doing what they love. As a child, she began to create horses on paper to make up for the lack of the real thing in her suburban world.
She attended West Virginia Wesleyan University, graduated Summa Cum Laude from the University of Bridgeport (Conn.) and earned a master's degree in art from Southern Connecticut State University.
Hudson-Tolles' portrait work is much more than accurate illustration. Her point of view has been described as intimate, horses portrayed through the eyes of the rider. After The Dance is a layered colored pencil painting.
Hudson-Tolles resides in Newtown, Conn., where she lives with her daughters, horses, dogs and a variety of barn cats. She teaches art in the Ridgefield Public Schools system.
