Leslie Pontz creates unique sculpture by crocheting monofilament
and fiber and combining them with iron and plexiglass elements to create 3-dimensional
sculptures. The result is non-traditional fiber sculpture that challenges the
senses and the mind.  Leslie holds a
masters degree in fine arts from Syracuse University and was the recipient of
two grants from the National Endowment for the Arts through the Pennsylvania
Council of the Arts as an Artist-in-residence. 
She is the former owner/designer of Leslie Pontz Design, an international
manufacturing company that produced an artist designed and hand printed line of
table linens and related tabletop products.

Leslie has shown internationally in invitational and juried
exhibits in Paris, Brazil and Venezuela as well as throughout the U.S.  She is the recipient of several awards for
her work. Leslie is a co-founder of ArtQuilts at the Sedgwick, a nationally
acclaimed east coast venue for the exhibition of art quilts.  At present, she is represented by the Gravers
Lane Gallery in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Her work is featured in many private and public
collections including but not limited to the Kamm, Best Western, Chestnut Hill
Hotel, Philadelphia Museum of Art , and Fuller Craft Museum collections
