About

Leslie Drennan is a sculptor and visual artist based in Atlanta, Georgia. Her work explores personal and global grief surrounding the climate crisis, but offers hope through her renderings of ecological strongholds that persevere despite the chaos of the Anthropocene. She is currently researching the private yard and garden spaces as a representation of the human attempt to control nature as well as a space that can be “rewilded” through human efforts in a mutually beneficial system. She graduated with a BS in psychology from the University of Georgia in 2016 and is currently completing an MFA in sculpture at Georgia State University. She was selected by the Welch Foundation at Georgia State to participate in a residency at the Hambidge Center for Creative Arts in May of 2023 and her work is currently included in 30 Summers, a group exhibition at Atlanta Contemporary.
