Leslie Barber is an emerging artist specializing primarily in hand embroidery. Her embroidery artwork focuses on her experience as a black woman living in the United States and highlights the aspects and interests of black women that they are not typically able to demonstrate without judgment. Her artwork is an expression of Leslie and all other black women. An expression of the things that bring us joy, the things that make us cry and the things that frustrate us about the world that we live in.
