The Poetic Artiste
​
LesleyAnn Moore a.k.a The Poetic Artiste began teaching herself how to write poetry and paint in 2014 and 2016, respectively. She is a Boston Native of Jamaican and Trinidadian descent. She first started her art journey as a child sketching and using watercolors. She now masters in Acrylic Paint.
​
In Fall of 2020 she established and became Sole Member of her LLC, Poetic Artiste. With the help of many friends along the way, she has developed a brand. Did I mention she is teaching herself how to play the piano and how to read music?! Stay tuned for more Paint Nights, Open Mics, and musically inclined Art Shows!
​
Just Spring of 2021 she was taking her FIRST Art class (Drawing 281) at UMASS Boston to enhance her creative abilities. She is now a Full-Time Artist & Dental Hygiene Student at the Massaschusettes College of Pharmacy & Health Sciences. She is living proof that you can be dedicated, follow your passions and enjoy a healthy work-life balance.
