Leslie Perrine
Leslie has spent the past nine years working with children of all ages and educating them through her passion for visual arts and writing. As a community organizer she co-founded and organized the Chicago Zine Fest, enabling all ages to share their voices through self-published materials. A true midwesterner at heart, Leslie loves the city of Chicago and finding all ways to share its beauty and excitement with young people. When she is not educating young minds she enjoys spending time in her studio working on her illustration and comic art, usually with her cat on her lap and a cup of coffee in her hand.
