About the Instructor

Leslie Rego is an artist working in pen and ink, silverpoint, and pencil, often incorporating these drawings into painted textile pieces. Her work reflects Idaho’s natural beauty and explores the passage of time through seasonal change. She finds inspiration in nature’s quieter moments—subtle transitions, fading blooms, and the promise of renewal. Her award-winning work has been featured in national and international exhibitions, private collections, and the U.S. Department of State’s “Art in Embassies” program. Four Seasons at the Beaver Pond, part of her Idaho’s Grandeur series, was included in Quilt National 2013.
