Leslie Poteet Busker is an abstract and figurative artist based in Charlotte, North Carolina. Her work blends thoughtful emotions with intricate linework, texture, and a restrained use of color. Leslie's abstract pieces capture moments of free-flowing expression, while her figure studies emphasize graceful contours and silhouettes. Leslie's new series delves into themes of universal strength and resilience, embodied through her distinctive faceless figures. 

Leslie is a self-taught artist. She holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Interior Design and designed commercial interiors for architecture firms in Charlotte. She retired from Interior Design to pursue her dream of studio art and began showing her work publicly in 2016. 

Leslie's artworks have been collected by Marriott International and have found homes in distinguished private collections, including those of prominent real estate developers Christian and Emily Crompton Candy of New York, and professional golfer Webb Simpson and his wife, Taylor Dowd Simpson, of Charlotte.  Leslie's pieces have also been featured on HGTV's House Hunters Renovation, and in Modern Luxury Interiors Chicago magazine, Atlanta Homes & Lifestyles magazine, and Charlotte Home Design & Decor magazine. Her works are held in public, private and corporate collections across the US, Europe, and Japan.
