‘Haunting Portraits’ by Leslie Ann O’Dell.

The ethereal beauties of Leslie Ann O’Dell’s artwork have a quality about them that is both soft yet somehow dark.

The colours fade onto the page, all except for the bold splashes of red that appear a bit disconcertingly like blood.

The artist explores concepts like isolation and the ego, offering surprisingly telling portraits that seem to unfold a story of their own.

There are so many small details in O’Dell’s work that each time you look at them you will notice something you missed before, making them beautifully decorated and mysterious pieces of art.
