Episode 6: Leslie Leavenworth: Faith, Family, and Art

In this episode of the Pay Love Forward Podcast, I sit down with my mother, Leslie Leavenworth, an award-winning watercolor artist whose work captures both the beauty of the world around her and the sacred interior landscape within.Our conversation traces the arc of her creative journey, from the docks of the James River where she first painted beside her father, to the long season of quiet sacrifice while raising her family, and finally to her return to painting as vocation and spiritual practice. We talk about art, family, and faith, the three threads that have always been woven through her life and her work.It is, at heart, a conversation about joy: where it hides, how it waits, and how it comes alive again through color, love, and perseverance.At Pay Love Forward, we believe the world needs better stories. This is one of them.To see Leslie's work, visit her webpage at Leslie Leavenworth Fine Art🎧 Available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and YouTube.🌐 www.payloveforward.net🌐 https://resilientstories.com/
