Leslie Duffin

Leslie graduated from Newcastle Art School in 2012 with an Advanced Diploma in Fine Art, majoring in painting, and holds a Certificate in Ceramics, as well as being a qualified teacher. Since leaving art school, Duffin has followed her dream of pursuing a career in art with a lifelong love of painting - initially solely using watercolour and acrylic paints, but more recently has ventured into oils.

Leslie is an accomplished potter, having exhibited in many ceramics exhibitions and in 2012 was the co-winner of the inaugural Laman St Prize.

Leslie is also the creator of ‘Puzzling Jewellery’, appropriately named as made from recycled jig-saw puzzle pieces.

She exhibits in galleries throughout Newcastle; Her ceramics, drawings and paintings are in private collections in Australia and overseas.
