 Growing up in Sacramento, California, Lesley Harrison developed a life-long love of animals, a subject that is the main focus of her pastel painting. Also she occasionally paints wildlife such as wolves and human portraits and figures. Of her love of animals she says: "I have always sought to form connections with animals, not merely study them. I'm not looking for a portrait. I'm looking for a connection." (Coyner) She and her sculptor husband, John Keller, live in Volcano, California, a town of about 100 people. They have a menagerie of eight cats, two horses, and a couple of goats.
