Leslie Sheryll says, "My work explores female identity through photography and digital collage by telling or creating stories about women. I do this by incorporating history, botany, symbolism, personal experience, and a bit of fantasy. My images are a compilation of layers that create a visual experience and a metaphorical story."

Leslie Sheryll grew up in New York City and became interested in photography when she attended the High School of Art and Design in Manhattan. She continued her photographic and art education at The Kansas City Art Institute where she received her BFA. Over the years Sheryll worked in various venues related to photography as well as the fashion industry. Currently, Sheryll devotes her time to her fine art practice.

Sheryll’s work has been in numerous group shows and publications in both the U.S. and Europe. She received the  2020 International Photography Exhibition, Royal Photographic Selectors Spotlight Award, Bristol England, 2018 Julia Margaret Cameron Award for Women Photographers 11th Edition, 2018  PORTALS, Grand Prize winner, Juror Darren Ching of Klompching Gallery,  2018  The Photography Gala Awards, Women Seen By Women, (runner up), 2017  The Gala Awards 10th Pollux Award winner.
