Our Team
Leslie Lee

From 2018 to 2024 I was the Vision Holder and Art Director for the Project. I’m grateful for OHSU/PSU’s School of Public Health for continuing to support a Team that believes in the power of art to affect social change.
Leslie Lee has been a professional artist her entire adult life. She and her husband, a ceramic artist, work at home in Portland, Oregon.
