Lesley Redgate, born in London in 1955, emigrated to South Australia in 1967. Her career as artist and educator began in 1977 upon completing studies in Fine Art at the SA School of Art (Uni SA) and Graphic Design (Tafe SA) in 2002. Lesley has worked as a specialist Art teacher, Graphic Design Lecturer and currently teaches watercolour and acrylics at ACSA while continuing her arts practice full-time. Winner of the Thomas Laird Memorial Traveling Art Study Award in 1993 led to overseas travel in 1994 and 1997.
Her work was selected by the National Gallery of Victoria for their collection as a recipient of the Michell Endowment, in 1978.. During the 1990’s she painted en plein air in Whites Valley near Willunga with the Strout Farm group which included artists Geoff Wilson and Dave Dallwitz. Drawing inspiration from the changing Fleurieu landscape, the Australian Modernists and French Post-impressionists, Lesley has developed a style which focuses on the subtleties of colour to describe form. Her chosen mediums are acrylics and watercolour. She has been a finalist in The Portia Geach, Fleurieu Art Prize, Waterhouse Art Prize, Heysen Art Prize, Well Made – Guildhouse, RSASA Portrait Prize, Capital Permanent at Geelong Art Gallery and Semi Finalist – Doug Moran and has exhibited widely in public and private galleries throughout Australia.
