Meet the Artist

I’m Leslie Parrott, a Nashville-based artist creating custom, impressionist-inspired, acrylic paintings for residential and commercial spaces. After more than 17 years as a professional photographer, I returned to my roots in drawing and painting, rediscovering the joy of building a painting by hand.

With a BFA from the San Francisco Art Institute and additional studies at RISD and Carnegie Mellon, I have a strong foundation in creating fine art. Painting allows me to move beyond documentation and interpret the world through expressive brushwork and layered textures. I’m drawn to the shapes, patterns, and colors in nature, which inform my botanical paintings and large-scale abstract artworks.

Whether creating a personal, one-of-a-kind piece or memorable artwork for a commercial space, my goal is to capture the character and beauty of my subjects while offering a fresh perspective through color, texture, and form. I’m not here to follow trends—I’m here to create authentic art. With a combination of creativity, hard work, skill and passion, I translate ideas and images into timeless art.
