"Twelve Days Collection" Fine Art Print

Leslie Kell is a multidisciplinary artist and designer whose work explores the intersections of memory, perception, and the natural world through photography, illustration, digital media, poetry, and motion. With a background in painting and illustration, her early career in graphic design evolved into a deeply personal exploration of layered imagery. Since 2008, she has developed a distinctive visual process that seamlessly integrates her original photography with digitally illustrated environments, resulting in immersive works that invite contemplation and discovery.

Expanding her practice beyond still imagery, Kell creates cinemagraphs and animated digital works that introduce subtle movement and sound, extending her exploration of light, atmosphere, and place into time-based media.

Her work has been exhibited in galleries, museums, public art installations, film festivals, and civic spaces throughout Texas and beyond. Notable exhibitions and installations include Austin-Bergstrom International Airport, the Elisabet Ney Museum, the Dougherty Arts Center, UMLAUF Sculpture Garden + Museum, the City of Reno’s Canyon Flats Video Wall, and recent solo exhibitions in Central Texas. In 2026, she was selected as an Artist-in-Residence for the Laguna Madre Artist Residency, a collaboration between the Arts Center of Corpus Christi and Texas A&M University–Corpus Christi’s Center for Coastal Studies.

Based in Austin, Texas, Kell is an active member of the regional arts community. Her evolving body of work continues to celebrate moments of wonder while encouraging a deeper awareness of our relationship with the landscapes we inhabit and the memories we carry.
