Brooklyn born and raised, Leslie Leathers attended film and photography classes in the Catskills and fell in love with wildlife- especially hummingbirds. From the moment she saw their petite nests, it was love at first sight and she was hooked.
Next, came her deep sense of passion for raptors and as they say, the rest is history because she became absorbed in photographing animals in their natural habitat.
Though Leathers is reluctant to discuss her awards and accolades, she has been on the calendar page and honorable mention in the Arizona Game and Fish contests. She also won an honorable mention in Arizona Highways magazine. Leathers also received an award at Cochise College. Besides being featured in Arizona National Conservancy, she is an ongoing contributor for Tucson Lifestyle Magazine.
Leslie Leather’s photographs can be enjoyed at Tucson Medical Center and most recently at the world-renowned Hacienda del Sol Guest Ranch. Leslie’s 86 photographs were selected and purchased from her extensive collection of photographs to be permanently installed at Hacienda Del Sol and on the walls of their Spa.
Leslie Leathers is honored to have her collection at the stunning and prestigious Hacienda del Sol Ranch, Tucson’s Jewel of the Desert.
