Leslie Moore has been translating her life-long love of animals into elegant pen and ink drawings for two decades. She draws commissioned pet portraits of dogs, cats, and other creatures from photographs and descriptions, capturing not only the physical likeness of her subjects but their hearts and souls as well. She calls them PenPets portraits.
Recently Leslie illustrated All My Dogs: A Life by Bill Henderson, founder of the Annual Pushcart Prize (Godine, 2011). “The book is greatly enhanced by famed artist Leslie Moore's line drawings,” says Publishers’ Weekly. “The artist’s rendering of [the dogs] really just brings each of them alive,” says Tracie Hotchner on Dog Talk, the Radio Show, (NPR).
Leslie lives on the coast of Maine with her husband, Tom, and her muse, Kinsey, a “designer” dog she rescued from the Bird Bazaar in Istanbul.
