Leslie Fry

Leslie Fry’s sculptures and works on paper are inspired by basic human needs: shelter, food, clothing, work, and intimacy. Her work has been exhibited internationally since 1977, including galleries and museums such as Exit Art, Thread Waxing Space, and Artists Space in New York; Hangaram Art Museum in Seoul; Kunsthaus in Hamburg; Couvent des Cordeliers in Paris; Windspiel Galerie in Vienna; Centre des Arts Visuels in Montreal; and the Tampa Museum of Art in Florida. Corporate and public collections include Songchu Art Valley International Sculpture Park, John Michael Kohler Arts Center, Fleming Museum, Whole Foods Market, and Tampa Museum of Art.

Public projects have been specific responses to architecture, history, and landscape. Commissions have included Wave Hill in New York; Burlington City Arts in Vermont; International Sculpture Festa in South Korea; Kohler Arts Center in Wisconsin; Musée d’Art Contemporain in Montreal; and Pinellas County Cultural Affairs, Tampa Public Art Program, and Broward Public Art and Design Program in Florida.

Her degrees are from the University of Vermont (B.A., 1975), The Milton Avery Graduate School of the Arts at Bard College (M.F.A., 1993), and she attended the Central School of Art and Design in London (1973-74). Fry was born in Montreal, and lives in Winooski, Vermont.
