Leslie Frys sensual sculptures, from fabric to bronze, are a reflection of
our close connection with each other and with nature. In erasing the boundaries that normally separate animate species and
inanimate objects as well as the boundaries between genders, Fry seeks to open the dialogue between reality and fantasy.
Frys
numerous public commissions include Pomerleau Neighborhood Park in Burlington, Vermont, which is home to twenty concrete
sculptures; as well as a recent award of installations in four libraries from the Broward Public Art and Design Program, Florida.
Big Dress, a ten-foot-high outdoor sculpture made of grapevines and steel, is on view at the Pineapple Grove Artwalk
in Delray Beach, Florida.
After teaching studio art at the University of Vermont (Burlington), the M.F.A. Program at

now dividing her time between her studios in Winooski, Vermont and St. Petersburg, Florida.
