Video: Leslie Bowman: 50 years of art in Washington County

How does place influence art? If you missed Leslie Bowman's presentation on March 1 about the past 50 years she's lived in Washington County and her associated artistic journey, we invite you to watch the full slideshow with her voiceover on our YouTube channel.

Leslie was crucially involved in the formation of Eastport Arts Center and has been a teacher of the arts in the county for several decades. As a visual artist skilled with paints, scultping, stop motion and digital art, her influence on artists young and old has been significant in the county and far beyond.

As a photographer, Leslie has captured thousands of photos of the community from across the years. Some of those are shared in the recording.
