Lesley Thiel is an international award winning, figurative artist known for her highly detailed photorealistic paintings. Working in oils, her pieces focus on narrative portraiture and magical realism. Her paintings contain imagery designed to tell a story of the fate of our species and our relationship to the earth. They include feathers, flowers, and animals as a sign of hope for our collective future. They speak of the strength of the upcoming generation of young women and girls, who may well be our saviors. They question the accepted narrative of the female voice in society and the myths attached to this. Her paintings are represented in collections throughout the world.

Lesley’s work has been included in numerous exhibitions, including at the Museum of Modern European Art (MEAM), in Barcelona; Bantierra Palace, Zarazoga; Sotheby's New York; Wassau Museum of Contemporary Art; The Mall Galleries, London; The Salmagundi Club, New York; Terminal 5 Heathrow (as part of the Olympics), and Zhou B Art Center, Chicago. She has received a Certificate of Excellence from the Portrait Society of America, and awards from the Art Renewal Center and International Guild of Realism. Her work is part of both the Art Renewal Center Collection, and the Bennett Collection. Born in England, she now lives and works in Ireland.
