Leslie Berenson

Leslie Berenson’s journey as an artist began in Danvers, Massachusetts, where she spent early mornings fishing with her father and watching sea smoke rise over tranquil waters. These quiet moments continue to inspire the peaceful atmosphere that defines her work today.

She earned her BFA from the Art Institute of Boston and went on to build a successful career in fashion illustration and as a creative director for national fashion catalogues before returning to her first love, painting. Leslie has been painting every day for more than 20 years, creating serene coastal scenes inspired by peaceful locations and the subtle interplay of light and water. Her paintings have developed a strong collector following, particularly up and down the East Coast from Boston to Florida. Leslie’s paintings have found their place in more than 800 homes, offices, and yachts across the United States and internationally.
