Bio Leslie Hinton
San
Antonio, Tex., artist Leslie Hinton (b.1983), a native of Tennessee, made her
mark in Columbia between 2006 – 2009, when she completed an MFA at the
University of South Carolina art department. Her MFA thesis exhibition was Luna Tic Tac Toe, a memorable spectacle
at Gallery 80808/Vista Studios in Columbia. She holds a BFA from the University
of Hawaii in Honolulu.
Hinton
creates outrageous and funny, intricate ceramic sculptures and drawings
featuring figures and animals, often together, in fantastical situations that
have a stream-of-consciousness quality. Since 2005, she has been in more than
two dozen exhibitions in North and South Carolina, Georgia, Florida,
California, Hawaii, and Taiwan, where in the spring of 2008 she studied at
Tainan National University for the Arts.
