Timeline

Leslie Giuliani is an American contemporary artist. Her work combines textiles, encaustic, oil painting and printmaking.

After painting and printing multi-layered backgrounds on a stitch-able microfiber paper, she embroiders her drawings, which she has interpreted into stitches. To these stitched embellishments she adds cut pieces of other paintings as appliquéd shapes. Stitching them down she uses decorative machine stitches as colorful, intricate drawing lines. The finished works have both a visually and physically complex surface.

Born in 1957 in Philadelphia, PA, Giuliani received her BFA in Fine Art from The University of Delaware, with further studies at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Art. Her work is represented in collections of the Housatonic Museum of Art, the State of CT and many private collections. She was the recipient of an Artist Fellowship Grant from the state of CT for Craft. Giuliani lives and works in Weston, CT.
