About the Artist:
Leslie Khounsombath (khoon-sum-baw-th) is a first generation Lao-American. Her ancestors migrated to California in 1975 after The Secret War of Laos. She found her early life difficult, raised by migrant parents suffering of PTSD and in deep poverty. For young Leslie, it seemed that keeping tradition and remaining docile was the only way of life. But as she moved through her journies of self-healing, she has defined her voice and learned to trust in her own intution. This, she discovered, was the catalyst to break cycles of generational trauma. Now, she creates mixed media art as a form of reparation, as a way to keep sanity, and advocate through community. Leslie now resides in Olympia, WA as a self-taught artist.
