“Beautiful Wrinkles”
2019 - Ongoing
In this series, Leasure explores the concept of aging, including unreasonable societal perceptions of this natural process and the inherent beauty of a mature face. Intense colors enhance the emotional aspects of the works while the artist builds up layers of paint to imply the lined texture of wrinkled skin.
