Leslie Rogers Todder has used the medium of silk painting for most of her career as a
successful commercial textile print designer in New York City. Her designs have been featured
in apparel lines from couture lines of Oscar de la Renta, and Fendi, to mass market
womenswear of Chicos, Liz Claiborne, Terri Jon, Maggie London, Adrianna Papell, and
Victorias’ Secret.
Leslie would walk through a department store like Macys or Saks Fifth Avenue and see her
print designs hanging on a rack of dresses, blouses, and swimwear.
Leslie uses silk painting and batik as a fine art medium incorporating her skills and techniques
developed over her career to create wall hangings, paintings as well as hand painted wearable
art.
Leslie has shared her expertise in silk painting workshops in NYC as well as in her recent
relocated home in suburban Atlanta, Georgia.
Leslie also sells her paintings through boutiques, galleries, art shows and her website
lesliesilkstudio.com.
